If you prove mathematically that you can't tell the difference between design and chance, for any left-brainers out there, it stops being a debate. >

Please no offense: Did you look at the graph? No math needed there. Just matching a term (n^2) with its line on the chart. Ignore everything else on that site but the graph at the bottom of the page.

All you have shown me is a graph with one algorithm faster than another, and another graph where they aren't,but I don't see how Chaitin has really proven anything when he has added fudge factors. I understand what his attempt is, and this is a first go at it, but I must wait to see if his approach has any future. I'm sure we all must wait. To me, logically, chance and design are diametrically opposed and probably should work at very different speeds.
