You are a bunch of atoms which respects the laws of physics. With a PhD in computational biology surely you must know that. You have no intent. Nothing ever has had any intent.

Please point out my logical fallacy if any.

    Good example of "proof by assertion"

      No, your argument literally commits the fallacy. Or it's just a non-sequitur about intent, in which case, cool. Feel free to have opinions on that.
