You are asserting that because you believe the formation of the universe is unlikely without intelligent intervention, that intelligent intervention must have been involved.

No, I am saying that the formation of the universe is IMPOSSIBLE without intelligent intervention.

This is known as "appeal to ignorance".

Really? Perhaps I wasn't clear enough then. We are talking about the FORMation of the universe. From what?

A is from A, B is from B, A and B make AB.

Intelligent intervention forms life.

You are asserting that your lack of an alternative explanation is evidence for the explanation that you are putting forward. This is not a logical method of reasoning.

What? Because I can't explain that some primordial ooze can self-organize, THAT's why I can't claim intelligent intervention? ? ?

Occam's razor is also coming to mind.

You must provide positive evidence to support your claim in order for your claims to be credible.

DNA has information. Cells replicate. Who/What wrote the information? One of many examples.

Are you telling me that YOU have positive evidence to support your claim that order arises from disorder?
