"DNA and other life forms are really just an ongoing crystalization process, if you will." I guess this just demonstrates what you know about DNA and molecular biology.
Unless you are asserting DNA structures are formed and controlled by magic rather than electron configurations, then it's not clear what your objection is.
The point is that just as snowflakes can acquire complex and macroscale structures without an "intelligent designer" so too can other chemical structures arise.
Since we know DNA exists, you have a long haul to prove impossibility of natural events. Begin.

All of those sequences are allowed and apparently in any order and number. Try to code with ice.

DNA sequences are maintained by chemical interactions. The information encoded into the sequences relies on the chemical interactions for maintaining its integrity, but neither the information nor the structures that the cell uses the DNA to generate is determined by them. Though G pairs with C, and A with T, there is nothing in the chemical interactions in a sequence of DNA that determines what the sequence can or must be.
The information in a sequence of DNA is no more determined by the chemical interactions in the DNA than is the content of an AM radio message by the frequency of the carrier wave. While both rely on the nature of their particular medium for their propagation, neither is determined by it. This is wholly unlike crystal formation.
