It's a sure sign that someone is engaging in magical thinking and sloppy pseudoscience when they attach the word 'quantum' to make some idiotic what-if-ism sound scientific and cutting-edge.
As for your bare assertion that DNA could not have assembled itself, I disagree. Recently a simple biological mechanism was found for assembly of RNA (IIRC, magnesium was a key player in that particular biochemistry). DNA is next. I expect to see your hypothesis debunked in my own lifetime.
You know whats fascinating about people arguing like Eve:
They arent convinced that quantum physics and relativity with their utterly counter intuitive mechanisms point towards a god. Their absurd scales: size of the quantum *world* and speed and energies involved in relativity. The fact that some elementary particles, Quarks can not share the same spot in space, while others, Bosons, can. That time runs slower when you move faster, that your mass increases when you move faster. That photons can behave like particles and like a wave. That the universe features objects, black holes, that probably are ripping apart the very fabric of space-time (that space-time are even related to each other sounds absolutely absurd, isnt it?). That, in fact the theories of relativity and quantum physics do not, yet, align in their results for a given problem, and we are in need to look for a unified theory.

But they look at some critters out in their yard, their shape being guided by molecules, doing nothing very impressive at all when being compared to what i described above, following quite well understood (biochemical) laws of the macrocosmos, and cry: "Cant be natural, God did it!".
Its so mindblowing.

P.S.: And yes, the suggestion that objects the size of bacteria can experience quantum effects (as a whole object, not individual particles), and have already been observed to do so (which the quoted article explicitly did not say), shows that the according person really has no clue what he/she is talking about.
