I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I took these during my morning walks, hoping to catch that elusive “perfect light.” Ah well, I’ll keep trying.-)

This article is over ten years old, but it is still apropos. Creationists are still using the same empty arguments, and this article still neuters them. I know I have repeatedly had to endure these quibbles, put forward with such fervent confidence every time, and it would be nice to simply be able to refer them to these answers.
Here are a few examples of their challenges:
Evolution is only a theory.
If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
Evolutionists cannot point to any transitional fossils.
Follow the link below to see them deflated.
On that note, why do creationists always ask questions like these? They’re trying to replace a well-tested theory with something that they think is better. Why aren’t they defending their candidate with science instead of always muddying the water with these specious arguments?

Opponents of evolution want to make a place for creationism by tearing down real science, but their arguments don’t hold up

Cloud of the Day – Cirrus Vertebratus
Cirrus vertebratus gets its name from its appearance. It resembles a vertebral column, or a fish skeleton with ribs radiating away from the spine. It’s really only given a name of its own, rather than simply being an example of cirrus cloud, because of the fact that it kind of looks like something.
Credit Nicholas Brockbank
The alternating gaps and cloud are caused by undulating air, drying as it sinks and warms, and condensing into cloud where it rises and cools. Vertebratus does have one thing going for it that gives it some significance: it can reveal the location of the Jet Stream. And speaking of jets, their condensation trails can sometimes turn into cirrus vertebratus.
Credit Tim Middleton
There’s no weather associated with vertebratus, but like any cirrus it can be a harbinger.
