Can you describe the test you would use to test your hypothesis that god has a hand in the creation of life?

But our crystalline studies used to observe the 3-d structure is vague. We just don't have the observations of it. On some we do. But like I said these are very very few and far between. Does our lack of observation disprove 3-d shape? No, because we know it happens. It is just more research is necessary. And, I'm not talking about any watchmaker problem.
Actually, their are about 5,000+ proteins in a living organism, about 30% of which are lipid soluble (most are water soluble). It's these lipid soluble proteins that scientists were having a problem with. However, that problem was at least partially solved several years ago.
Anyway, you were using a "watchmaker argument" in your post. You stated that due to the complexity of life, you knew god had to have a hand in its creation.
