Where a beneficial trait is defined as one causing an increased likelihood of reproduction of that trait. Which results in that trait being more persistent, prevalent and available for observation. In any case, the universe doesn't care what chemicals react or how. They just do. The observed uniformity of how atoms bond isn't indicative of an intelligent, personal God.

No argument.
