DAVID: God has to exist. What we see is not created by chance mechanisms.

dhw: If I suggest that your God may have invented a mechanism to produce the whole bush of life, I am not suggesting that the bush of life was created by a chance mechanism!

DAVID: You are back to supporting God and denying chance. Great.

dhw: There is a mighty saltation in your thinking. You wrote: “What we see is not created by chance mechanisms.” My hypothesis is that the mechanism which has produced the bush of life is cellular intelligence, and so the bush of life is not the product of chance. My hypothesis allows for the possibility (“your God may have invented…”) that there is a God who created the mechanism of cellular intelligence. This is neither a support nor a denial of anything other than possibility.

I agree that God might have invented such a mechanism. We've had that discussion before, but you are describing a God invented mechanism. Therefore God is still is charge and control.
