Hmm, so what does the explanatory filter have to say about that?
I must admit that one of the nice things about living in the Front Range is the interesting diversity of cloud structures created by the Rockies. I like the "stack of plates" clouds in particular. Pilot acquaitances say they give them a wide berth.

very cool.

Probably something about pathetic levels of detail.
Is the EF incapable of producing false positives because it is positively false?
PS Nice picture

“On purely evolutionary grounds, however, one would have to say something like the following: clouds are the result of a Darwinian evolutionary climatic process that programmed the clouds with, presumably, a climatic algorithm that enables them, when put in the sky, to trace out forms that resolve the Kelvin-Helmholtz wave problem."
There - saved Dembski from having to fill in the blanks, or even from having to respond...

The explanatory filter has zip to say about dissipative structures. Why, the information in shear instabilities of this sort must come from somewhere...
Which is but one reason among many why it is worthless.
Strange attractors and an EF don't mix.

Once upon a time I decided to learn how to fly sailplanes in the (now) apparent tranquility of the Arizona desert.
Now I look up at sailplanes being towed under the most amazing cloud terranes at the base of Boulder Canyon and think...what the heck are they doing...and then....hmmmm....maybe I need to go for a ride.

Haha, I was kinda lost back there by your statement. But are we sure though if this is not photoshop edited?
