Got any evidence for your alleged god that doesn't reference a certain book with an undead rabbi, an imaginary flood and a Talking Snake™?
Nope. Life is evidence for life. It isn't evidence for gods.

Intelligent design is the only realistic possibility. Happenstance is an impossibility.
Intelligent design isn't a possibility at all until you have demonstrated that gods or god-like beings actually exist.
Then you have a new problem: Where did the god(s) or god-like beings come from?
By the way, there is nothing "happenstance" about organic chemistry. Chemical processes are quite explainable and fairly regular in their operation, rather than being random.
