'''....but wrong in saying it "determines" the formation of anything. Atoms , molecules etc are composed of matter/energy that can be utilized but have no part to play in how that is done. That requires intelligence''
No evidence for that claim, sorry. Atoms form molecules according to their properties, electrical charge, atomic structure, periodic table, hydrogen, helium, etc...carbon atoms and their molecules, for example, have properties that aid biological activity
''Carbon also forms covalent bonds with several other atoms, such as hydrogen, oxygen, ... Living things use carbon in a vast number of molecules in their bodies, thanks to the biological and geological processes that form the carbon cycle....'' etc, etc.
