> The directed self assemblage of organic molecules is testimony of the sophistication of the intelligence of the design.

Nothing of the sort. They are simply molecules that link up and form different molecules. It is no more miraculous than oxygen and hydrogen combining to form water.

Yes, many scientists are amazed at the natural, material processes of the world. There is much greater wonderment and beauty in the natural world than in the cheap gloss of supernaturalism that many wish to drape over it. The knowledge that things can be learned, understood and utilized is a greater joy than the belief that the fall of every electron is due to some omnipresent meddler.

Plain chemistry is plain chemistry. The laws of the physical universe govern the reactions of chemical interaction. Life has an underlying body of information that is literally a chemistry lab that is way beyond anything man can yet conceive. A vast majority of mankind's advances in medical science is borrowed from living mechanisms dealing with the basic chemistry.

Do a study of the human liver. It is a veritable chemistry laboratory.
