Native American? I don't see it. It looks like the Virgin Mary to me :) No wait it's my Uncle Roy! But someone like Dembski would say that it may be improbable, or complex, but it's not specified. In other words it's not the form of a *particular* Native American like Crazy Horse, to continue the Rushmore analogy. But even Mt. Rushmore, a spittin image of four very recognizable people, may be an obvious example of intelligent design, but so what? Nobody would suggest that it is the result of supernatural intelligence. Natural processes are sufficient; it was carved by those humans. Just like those subterranian mansions with separate rooms for the queen, the workers and the soldiers. Built by those ants. Amazing design, but did it result from their intelligence. Ants may have some finite measurable intelligence, but please. Ant colonies, bee hives etc. are complex, they're specified and they are clearly the result of dumb, unintelligent natural processes.

OK, here is an intriguing natural image which might be useful is
illustrating now natural processes can produce completely improbable
results. Plus, it plays off the Mount Rushmore argument posited for
Intelligent Design. Take a look at
Huge Native American face on Google Earth
<http://www.dvhardware.net/article14548.html>

Also apparently unnoticed is the second face in the right third of the
image, with a beard whose tip touches the earbud worn by the subject face.

Or maybe this is a pictorial signature? Does the dual-face image
reignite the discussion of the "we" language used in parts of Scripture
in reference to God?

In any case, it's a remarkable find. JimA
