[The cell responds to “stressors.” The stressors may be random, but the cell’s response is not.]
Granted, some cells are coded to indeed respond to stressors, and infact to switch functions sometimes, however, it’s clear that many cels don’t- cells which would have been necessary to change in order for hte next higher form of life to evolve. As well, I again must point out that the coding that allows cells to adapt and survive, must have coem from somwhere, and one should ask where? If a cell doesn’t have the necessary info to begin with, it will not be able to adjust and survive- One must also take into concideration that the amount of changes in higher in higher lifeforms is simply staggering- simply too much to account for the cause being random mutations and environmental stresses. Most of the cells present in differing species don’t change according to stressors.
I can see where you’re going with htis, and yes, it’s a hypothesis that does make soem sense incertain cases, but I’m afraid I have to dissagree with the premise

The "coding" lies in the cell's response to the stressor, if the response allows the cell to survive then it survives and reproduces its attributes, including the "coding."
I don't see the need to add the concept, 'that the coding must have come from somewhere.' The cell cannot foresee all possible stressors, (in fact it foresees none) and many cells' responses are not sufficient for survival---but those that are, do survive. You might call that process, "accidental." I would call it incidental to being alive.
