Well then, convince me. Lay out your evidence and your methodology (so I can test your findings) and prove your case. Until your willing to accept the burdon of proof for your claims, nobody here is going to take you seriously.
The evidence comes from the information that guides cellular biology. Let's just take an example and run with it. DNA is tightly coiled around histone protein complexes. However, if the organism needs to access this DNA, the histones must loosen their grip on the DNA so the gene contained on it can be transcribed. In order for this loosening to happen, different functional groups are added to a protrusion of the histone. An example is when an acetyl group gets added. This is done by histone acetyltransferase enzymes, which are attracted to the histones by another protein called transcription regulator, which binds to the DNA based on its structure. The acetyl group allows the histones to loosen. General transcription factors then bind to the newly opened DNA. This attracts an RNA polymerase (a molecular machine composed of multiple subunits). This machine makes an mRNA strand, which will then be shipped to where it needs to go by other proteins. It is then translated by a ribosome (another multi-subunit machine). All this to make a protein. All this is guided by the sequence in DNA. Without the sequence you don't get life. How did it get this way progressively?
