1. Were it not for the precise relationship among the first 60 discovered elements on the Periodic Table, would scientists have been able to accurately predict the existence of forms of matter that at the time were unknown?
No, not really. So what?
ALTER2EGO -to- FALLEN TO REASON:
This may come to you as a shock, but your skepticism expressed as "So what?" indicates you have no effective rebuttal.

Could the precise law within the first 60 discovered elements (on the Periodic Table) have resulted by chance aka spontaneously aka by accident? Or is this evidence for the existence an intelligent Designer/God who guided the outcome?
This "precise" law could be said to be the result of *random* causal relations since the Big Bang which led to *this* universe and not some other variation. Any other variation would of had its own equally "precise" law due to a different set of causal relations.
You're pointing out a trivial fact about causality. So what? Tacking a deity at the end of said trivial fact is a non-sequitur.
See what I'm saying? Another "So what?" as if somehow, you can wish reality away by not wanting to deal with uncomfortable facts.
I will address the remainder of your post at another time.
