Complex Specified Information? You be the judge…

This Google Ocean image is 620 miles off the west coast of Africa near the Canary Islands. It is over 15,000 feet deep and the feature of interest is about 90 miles on a side or 8000 square miles.

In another thread ID critics complain there is no rigorous definition or mathematical formula by which everyone can agree on whether or not something exhibits complex specified information. Believe it not, they say it like mainstream science isn’t chock full of things that not everyone can agree upon. Like duh.

Well, Google Ocean is now saying it is just an "an artifact of the data collection process". Apparently they use boats with sonar mapping the ocean floor. The article doesn't go into great detail, but I'm guessing the lines are paths that the boat was following, and it just came out with a strange result. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1150846/Hopes-dashed-Google-Ocean-image-lost-city-Atlantis-proves-sort.html The question is, why is it in this one spot (that has been discovered so far, to my knowledge). Why did the boat make 90-degree turns like that? Why aren't there lines like that all over the Google Ocean maps? Perhaps they will rescan the areauoflcard_{February 20, 2009

The Telegraph article described the feature as being "about the size of Wales". Ah, my dear homeland; more a unit of measurement than a country...Stephen Morris_{February 20, 2009

Here is a recent article saying it might be the lost city of Atlantis: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/google/4731313/Google-Ocean-Has-Atlantis-been-found-off-Africa.html Not saying it isn't manmade, but how could an entire city sink 15,000 feet under water over just a few thousand years? Is that geologically reasonable?uoflcard_{February 20, 2009

I don't see many rectangles occurring in nature. In fact, I can't think of any. For that matter, I can't think of any straight lines, except maybe light beams, inertia, or gravitational forces. None of these would apply here. Can someone enlighten me?prhean_{February 20, 2009

What are the coordinates of it? I'm assuming it is striations in the ocean floor, correct? Measuring the image on my monitor (would be more accurate in Google Ocean) with a pair of calipers, the width-to-length ratio is right about at 1.6....the "golden ratio" is 1.61803399, and it's found everywhere in nature. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.uoflcard_{February 20, 2009
