Nope. Life is evidence for life. It isn't evidence for gods.

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.
So what if I told you that consciousness is not part of the brain and actually resides outside of the body? By the way I know that chemical processes are quite explainable and fairly regular in their operation, rather than being random. My posts were about abiogenesis or the beginning of life. It is described as having conditions just right at the right time and place to turn inorganic matter into living matter. Thus a deduction of happenstance.
