I study biology, and I am blown away at how information rich even the simplest organisms are. The theory of evolution does a poor job of explaining the origin of new genetic information, and I think that it is more logical to assume that intelligence played a role in the origin of genetic information than to assume that it has some other explanation that we will discover later. Based on our experience, information only has one cause and that is intelligence. If you are more comfortable waiting for a different answer that's fine, but then you are relying on a mild type of faith.
Also the universe itself has many specific physical properties that allow it to support life. For example the rate of expansion of the universe and the strength of gravitational pull are so finely balanced that the slightest variation in either of the two variables will lead to the inability of the universe to produce planets.
You obviously need to keep studying biology some more...
Concerning your second point,
If I accept that some physical parameters are extremely sensitive to small changes, how is that evidence for an intelligent designer? I claim it is evidence against an intelligent designer. An intelligently designed set of physical laws which has as its purpose that planets can form, would not require fine tuning. Anthropic selection almost predicts it.
