“Interesting. Usually, cherry-picking comments—that is, taking them completely out of context so that the cherry-picker can imply they said something completely different—is something I only see on pseudoscience scam sites.”

Logical fallacy. Your argumentative fantasy unrelated to anything under discussion.

“I’m not sure if you realize it, but if the chemistry and physics of DNA were so incredibly complicated that understanding it is beyond human capability”

Logical fallacy - this is your strawman, not my argument.

“And order cannot be infinitely complex, by definition.”

A diatribe punctuated with spew. You are arguing that the sky is blue when nobody but you is having the argument.

If you’re a PhD at all, you function as an over-educated technician, based on your absolutist rhetoric. Absolutism as you express it is driven by your own ignorance and misunderstanding, not thorough understanding of “everything” in a narrow area of inquiry.

Now please - if you wish to insult me do it directly, I can at least respect directness. I can’t respect your selected approach of pretending I argued something and then constructing a patronizing diatribe refuting your own fabrication.

Ah, thank you for confirming that your pseudoscience is the creationist flavor. Creationism is the only brand of pseudoscience I am aware of where the adherents start making a lot of noise about "logical fallacies" and "strawmen" when their claims are shown to be illogical or to have no evidentiary basis.

Yep, typically creationist style denial when their own words are subjected to logical analysis. It is obvious (has been obvious for a while) that you strongly resist science, even while pretending to have some knowledge about it and even claiming to know scientists. I find this phenomenon, which is not unique to you, quite interesting. It is actually an active area of research in the scientific and medical community.
