Let's say organic chemistry is the scientific explanation for life, but not the full explanation. The thing is, theists argue that explanations work on more than one level.
I explained that in detail in a previous comment : https://atheistforums.org/thread-64357-p...pid2112546.

Do you expect to find a little baby biplane snuggled somewhere in the middle of a space shuttle? I don’t, and you won’t, and that’s one pretty obvious difference between designed things and organically derived things.
As a matter of fact yes, I can very well encounter a broken biplane in the middle of nowhere, or some remnants of, say, some uncompleted space project. I mean, it's not rare that people lose objects or leave them behind in all kinds of places ?
I have a big problem with the distinction you made above : designed things versus organically derived things, don't you see that you're already smuggling the conclusion that organically derived things aren't designed ?
