So if we weren't intelligently designed, you would expect our biological design to consist of a random jumble of nonsensical structures? We were obviously created in a very structured and ordered fashion, but we weren't designed by some intelligent being, it was time and natural selection.
What are the odds that RNA and DNA can best be described as sentences that follow linguistic rules? What are the odds that the proteins in your body are made in chains like sentences?

Doesn't entropy requires a closed system ... which the solar system isn't ?

-Bacteria has less than 500 genes. Humans have more than 22 thousand genes. Ask yourself a question: Can evolution program genes?

There is nothing wrong with questioning the origins of life on this planet or any other planet. But i think it dangerous to make the assumption that just because scientists dont know the answer to something that GOD did it. Now obviously this means we first have to define ones concept of god(good luck getting everyone to agree with that one)
In short i think its easy to ask someone a questions they dont know the answer to and then make up an answer and pretend thats the real answer with no proof to back it up. Just saying.
Of course it can. DNA contains the information for genes to program themselves.

Then you must admit that consciousness preexists matter. For genes to make a choice to program themselves, they must be able to collapse the indeterminate wave of infinity. Collapsing wave function theory must be present in our physical universe for genes to make the choice. Consciousness must preexist matter.
On another level, we see this from the standpoint of the quantum observer from the measurement problem. When matter is observed, it is a wave. When not observed, it is a particle. This fundamental understanding negates the possibility that genes can program themselves or collapse the wave to change the states of matter. Collapsing wave theory is the only way to change the states of matter. It's called choice by a simple definition.
Show me how information makes a choice to design a body as intricate and subtle as ours.
Wave function collapse and entropy in information theory must be seen for evolution to be measured. They create a paradox that cannot be resolved unless consciousness pre-exists matter.
God said that He is the "Great I AM." He also says this:
Hebrews 11
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
