Yes thats fascinating stuff, Anon. Try to imagine the frenetic motions of water molecules surrounding all these proteins. Its their "ping pong balls bouncing wildly around" effect (
Brownian Motion) which imparts the mechanical impetus for these tiny protein
(and protein-accessories :D components to self-assemble that way (this is how the pieces move around).

While the
Laws of Chemistry describe the atomic valence bonds for these molecular protein chains to 'fold & stick together' like that, its the
information encoded inside the cell's DNA strand (contained within the cell nucleus) that precisely determines these chain's amino acid sequences -- and therefore the specific 3D shapes these folded protein assemblies actually take in the end. Kind of like specifying the various fold-lines of
Origami.
Those 3D molecule shape's atomic surfaces in turn control which
valence fields successfully bond together between them, and which don't (and thus how these separate protein components themselves accurately & selectively come together into larger 3D structures -- kinda like
LEGO blocks). These complex assemblies interacting together with one another in yuge numbers within the cell's volume (electro-mechanically, as it were) in turn determine & control the widely-varying, particular, bio-functions of physical life's cells.
>tl;dr
Its the 'software' in the DNA that is responsible for the orchestration of life's processes, not chemistry. In our common experience, information like that only comes from
minds.
This is the argument from design: not only does this entire process demand exquisite structural & sequence -planning ahead of time, it also requires this specific, complete, (and utterly unique) genetic coding system to be in place beforehand as well.
Change even the tiniest aspect of that genetic code and the entire system collapses. Simple as.
