Those are all unsupported assertions. You have to explain WHY sophisticated information can't come from the 'dumb environment'. How sophisticated does something have to be before it can't come from the 'dumb environment'? It would be helpful if there were units of sophistication that could be used to measure whether something was too sophisticated to come from the 'dumb environment'. Then, MAYBE, you could start to be able to justify your claims about advanced intelligence and detectability.
Hint: What you're calling 'detectability' is inference, and the basis for the inference is intuition. Intuition can lead to interesting avenues of investigation, but it's not evidence or proof.

And what's with all the videos? They're hardly ever germane to the topic at hand. No one said that molecular machines aren't wonderful or don't exist. We said that they are not irreducibly complex, and videos that aren't making a case for irreducible complexity are irrelevant and just waste our time. We can find cool videos on our own without your help if we want to.

And I believe that severe confirmation bias causes you to think you're right even though you can't support your assertions, or even explain why your conclusions follow from your premises.

The spiritually blind must cry out to God for help but often their pride stops them. Many remain willfully ignorant. They must lose their pride, humble themselves, and seek the light, which is Jesus Christ for salvation.
Thanks for that explanation. According to that, my assessment of your problem is that you are 'spiritually blind' due to pride and ignorance.
Dr. Meyer used the same scientific method as Darwin to show that intelligent design is the best argument for information in DNA, molecular machines,... It is not just an assertion.
Someone actually did say they weren't machines and the videos do show they are irreducibly complex. You are just afraid to watch them because you will see your whole atheist worldview come crashing down in the face of the intricacy of the molecular machine.
I see nothing wrong with post 2059.
Design can be inferred. See the following book on design inference by William Dembski: The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance through Small Probabilities (Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction and Decision Theory).
I am a believer so I am not spiritually blind. That verse is for unbelievers.
