I'm sorry I stopped reading at "secondary light source." What are you talking about? Do you honestly believe there is a "secondary light source" in the atmosphere?! If so, how on earth do you explain eclipses?? Clearly if there was another light source up there, then the moon would never appear dark.
EDIT: If you said, dust particles reflect light then I could buy that. But your statement makes no sense.

you're right. even though there is one light source (the sun) it appears as though there are many light sources due to the "slits" in the clouds. basically what we are seeing is diffraction patterns.
guy who was calling out novabossa: check out young's double slit experiment. you can wiki it.
