Yes,

However, due to the dynamic nature of the CO2 cycle all the excess CO2 can not be attributed,

Some non-mechanical causative principle of order is required to explain, for example, why the
molecules of living beings come together into specific shapes, why organisms develop specific characteristics or have the capacity to regulate their metabolism or readjust and reintegrate themselves holistically when injured or when challenged
by their environment.
The postulate that life originates purely
by chance out of mindless and aimless shuffling of atoms and
molecules is all part of our central question here concerning the logic of an emergent view of nature.
Molecular biology, contrary to the article, does not support evolution
by natural chance because evolution can not occur without inheritance, inheritance can not occur without DNA and DNA is so complex it could not have evolved
by chance unless we are to assume that
molecules just happened to arrange themselves into the DNA
molecule at the same times as a nucleus formed to hold the DNA, at the same time as the cell membrane just happened to form around it, at the sametime as all the cell maintaining process in the cytoplasm just happened to come into existence to form a single cell and that all these aspects just happened to come together and work harmoniously.
We have wanted a God of self - reliance who needs nothing and nobody, who glorifies Himself

Oh, the Calvinists could make perfect sense of it all with a wave of a hand and a swift, confident explanation about how Zarmina had been born in sin and likely predestined to spend eternity in hell to the glory of an angry God (they called her a «vessel of destruction»); about how I should just be thankful to be spared the same fate since it's what I deserve anyway; about how the Asian tsunami was just another one of God's temper tantrums sent to remind us all of His rage at our sin; about how I need not worry because «there is not one maverick
molecule in the universe» so every hurricane, every earthquake, every war, every execution, every transaction in the slave trade, every rape of a child is part of God's sovereign plan, even God's idea; about how my objections to this paradigm represented unrepentant pride and a capitulation to humanism that placed too much inherent value on my fellow human beings; about how my intuitive sense of love and morality and right and wrong is so corrupted
by my sin nature I can not trust it.
Scientific reductionism, however, wants to reduce biology to physics and chemistry, to explain the properties of «life»,
by thorough specification of the particulars (atoms and
molecules) that are integrated into cells and organisms.
Biology can be designated as a science logically distinct from physics and chemistry because its heuristic field is constituted
by questions directed toward whole organisms (plants and animals), cells and their «achievements» rather than toward atoms and
molecules as such.
Thus, at the lowest level, electrons tend to unite and converge in the atom; atoms converge
by molecularization, crystallization;
molecules unite
by polymerization; cells unite
by conjugation, reproduction, association; nerve ganglions concentrate and localize to form a brain
by what might be called a process of cephalization; the higher animal groups form colonies, hives, herds, societies, etc.; man socializes and forms civilizations as foci of attraction and organization.

molecule is determined only
by chemistry or that chemistry alone can illuminate this sequence.
For it is demonstrable that our bodies of flesh and blood will be dissolved, and that in whatever mode of existence we may be raised from death it will not be
by either the resuscitation of this mortal body or its transformation — unless, indeed, we follow the speculations of some of the Fathers concerning the reassembling,
by God, of the dispersed
molecules of the flesh, which I am not inclined to do.
The atoms and
molecules are in turn constituted
by tiny «energy events,» invisible even under the most powerful microscope.
For example, Earley's crystalline structures,
by powerful «ionic» forces overwhelm the constituent
molecules which virtually lose their identity as their respective ions are held in deadlock.
«3 Whereas John Cobb recalled Whitehead's identification of
molecules as «historic routes of actual occasions,» Donald Sherburne prefers the designation as «structured societies» — which leaves open the question of whether both a
molecule and its constituent can be «enduring objects» (like a personal society).4 Enthused
by Leclerc's reliance upon the Aristotelian distinction between actual and potential, Ford offered an option which might preserve the choice, in Whiteheadian terms.
Now suppose that this
molecule is disintegrated
by electric forces which do not affect the spin at all and that these atoms start coming apart.
We need to check and see, for example, whether or not the water they're serving at
Molecule has been treated
by ultraviolet rays, ozone treatments and reverse osmosis via a machine that costs an unimaginable amount of money.
His analysis of the idea of molecular structure from «first principles» shows that if one starts from a description of the
molecule as an isolated, dynamical system consisting of the number of electrons and nuclei implied
by the stoichiometric formula that interact via electromagnetic forces, one can not even calculate the most important parameters in chemistry, namely, those that describe the molecular structure.8
Again Hartshorne, having conceded that, relatively speaking,
molecules are mindless, denies that they (or their constituents) are totally lacking in experience and continues: «the panpsychist... further will not admit that the lower degrees of awareness are due to the dilution of mind
by its mixture with increasing doses of another something, matter» (BH 170).
What is not a joke is that an entity at the level of a small to medium size
molecule can be significantly influenced
by a very small perturbance.
Out of the Gordon Conference on nucleic acids in the summer of 1973 came an open letter to Science; the establishment (in October 1974)
by the National Institutes of Health of the Recombinant DNA
Molecule Program Advisory Committee; and in February 1975 the now - famous international conference at the Asilomar Conference Center in California, where a reluctant decision was made
by scientists to declare a temporary moratorium on certain kinds of DNA research.
Then it follows that
molecules are not determined
by general physical laws.
And in any such case, it then becomes the interactions which experience has shown will have an impact on the
molecule which controls the shape it takes and not anything intrinsic to the
molecule considered in itself, or explained simply
by the quantum mechanics of its constituents.
