Defence of Intelligent Design

Warren,I agree that looking at cellular evolution without looking how a living earth defined complexity "intelligently" is going to lead to an incomplete picture. However, Gaia offers a better theory than the IDers: TOPIC: Thermal anomalies on south east of South America: Note DIRECTION OF CURRENTs. Note hydrate fields there. Also consider broad based electrical insUlative properties would reduce sharp capactive transiant differential currents that would elongate cirrus, but would otherwise increase the probability that water vapor would flow uniformly from one particle to the next without sharp contrasts. The cold anomalies to the Southern Ocean are all related to the direction of current of the Southern Ocean--inducting for a greater capacitive displacement current that elongates the cirrus clouds there. In contrast, where some of the big bergs have broke off and where some of the huge warm anomalies exist just southeast of South America, the currents induct in such a way as to reduce cirrus elongation. In short, the warming of the oceans makes these conductive oceans more sensitive to their induction potentials, and the response on clouds is COUPLED in a way that can be visualized.
The anomalies in the air temperatures over the Southern Ocean are matched with data of a warmer ocean. So you have a control and a variable (they are reversable) in that the ONLY difference between the two areas of anomaly are current direction (and any bioligical modulation of the fields). Solar insOlation is the same. Why would direction of ocean current have a THERMAL meaning -- it can only be an electrical meaning, an induction meaning, with perhaps a little gas exchange conductivity meaning from the wind direction changes churning local waters . . . but it is an electrical forcing modulated by the biosphere.
