There is repetition in 'nature', but I don't necessarily see this as purposeful design, in the sense that a greater being exhibits intent, but rather, that the pattern is or has been useful for propagation in some way. Fractals are interesting and appear to suggest that there is some 'essence', immutable design to the patterns contained within their structure.<br />I can see why people would like the notion of 'uniqueness' that emerges out of patterns evident in fractals and DNA, but that doesn't tell me there is a God or an intelligent designer, other than nature, which is the most powerful and unique designer itself.Julie Joy Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494942281316667133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657450053451704408.post-79195386081168341822011-02-05T12:04:36.721+11:002011-02-05T12:04:36.721+11:00Do you think Jackson Pollock's art was fractal...Do you think Jackson Pollock's art was fractal expressionism?<br /><br />LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
