Then are you saying that my question -- asking whether the structure of crystal formation are deliberate or random -- implies a false dichotomy?

No. It is not a dichotomy - it is a bogus loaded question - similar to this:

Is God Santa Claus or Superman.

They are the end result of the interaction of the physical properties of the component molecules.

Were those properties created or did they randomly happen - if you think there is a another answer, please add it - this is not one of you loaded questions. I think you may be in way over you head and you don't even realize it.

Your example question offers a clear implication of a false dichotomy. You have answered my question in the negative, but then offered an analagous question that suggests the affirmative.

Were those properties created or did they randomly happen - if you think there is a another answer, please add it - this is not one of you loaded questions.

I do not know. How could such properties be "created", and what relevance does that have to my question?
