Is complexity an argument against design?

I find it amazing that some very simple equations and a high speed computer can produce incredibly complex looking, intricate images.I think Mandelbrot was one of the first people to bring this to everyone's attention, although someone else had an inkling of it too, and far earlier (maybe Poincare?)So are these images truly complex or not? Just asking... I've never quite settled on an answer for myself on this.This message has been edited by smokeyvw, 02-02-2006 10:51 PM

OK, I'll bite. If I were out in a desert somewhere and found an artifact like the cube you describe, I would assume some intelligent being made it.I might be wrong to assume that, but it's a pretty good guess given the way the natural world seems. Stuff like rocks are everywhere. A perfect cube would be very unusual.
