The first atoms that came together had to have intelligence in their dna, otherwise we wouldn't have intelligence because dna is the home of our genes that dictate who we are. Therefore, if the first atoms who came together had intelligence in their dna.

Fail right from the get-go.
"The first atoms that came together had to have intelligence in their dna,"
Annnndddd....that's where I stopped reading.
Uhm. . . atoms have several parts, but considering DNA is made of several thousands of atoms, I don't think DNA is one of them. . . .
Besides this really odd error, whatever you think is not how evolution works.
Wow. Okay:
Atoms do not have DNA. They make up DNA.
DNA is not the home of our genes. Our genes are composed of DNA nucleotides.
Intelligence is not some sort of reductive property. It is an emergent phenomenon.
...dna is the home of our genes that dictate who we are.
Speaking only for myself, my DNA dictates what I am; my consciousness dictates who I am.

Trifecta!!!
Congratulations qw, that was not easy!
I hereby propose without further ado to induce qw into the Fundies Hall of Fame and give this post a prominent position in the Top 100 list of FSTDT.
"atoms that came together had to have intelligence in their dna"
"atoms"
"dna"
What is DNA made of? What is everything made of? If rocks are made of atoms, then according to your logic, they'd have DNA. In which case, we would be silicon-based lifeforms.
Wow, that 'hoemskuling' is doing SO much for you, eh?
Stupidity. It should be illegal.
*opens mouth*

*shuts mouth again*
*headdesk*
So .. much... stupid...
[Aziraphale the angel and Crowley the daemon are discussing different ways the Apocolypse might happen]
'Asteriod strike?' said Aziraphale. 'Quite the fashion these days, I understand. Strike into the Indian Ocean, great big cloud of dust and vapour, goodbye all higher life forms.'
'Wow,' said Crowley. 'All the higher life forms scythed away, just like that.'
'Terrible.'
'Nothing left but dust and fundamentalists.'

Oh by the gods! I wonder how your head doesn't implode from the vacuum inside.
Mater, life, atoms, intelligence and DNA don't work that way.
The first two good little atoms on earth were having sex under your god's benign guidance, sure! Only after that did more than two atoms exist. Because atoms have sex. And DNA. INTELLIGENT DNA to be precise! Those first two were pious heterosexual atoms, you see, they deserved intelligent DNA. Homosexual atoms only get inferior DNA.
I don't think I should ever read this quote again... otherwise, instead of getting a horrible, 8-hour headache, my brain may just explode instead.
I go through the same basic exercise in the late afternoon every workday. I come to FSTDT to be cheered up. I get cheered up, then I get simultaneously horrified that ignorance like this still persists in the world. I always leave even more down-trodden than I arrived, yet I keep coming back.
Particle physics =/= Biology.
Then you wonder why China is close to overtaking you in scientific R&D, fundies in the US?
Enjoy your desktop Quantum Computers.Invented in China , never mind built there.
Hahaha. There's no DNA in atoms. But even less ignorant people entertain ideas of a magic universe and magic physics. Theistic evolution too. The gods of the gaps sip in wherever ignorance exists in the "fabric" of the person's perception of the world. And everyone lives in their own mental universe, but some seek to more deeply understand the world and discover reality than others. It's not necessarily only because of intelligence but also direction. That's also why deceptive manipulative propaganda works, like sermons to trap people in cults, marketting from the industry, and political disinformation...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
