You can't just give a bunch of examples of order that is created by intelligence as evidence that there is no other way for order to arise. That's like giving examples of ways fire is started by friction and then concluding there is no other way to start a fire.
An example of one orderly process that does not require directing intelligence is crystallization. It is an example of order arising from the bottom up. It is the properties of carbon atoms that make diamond form under intense heat and pressure, not god's hand putting each in the correct spot. Take some sea water and let it dry out. You will see order in the shape of the salt left behind.
DNA is the most amazing example of bottom-up order. It contains information needed to build the machinery that interprets it and replicates it. I know it seems like the DNA itself could never have come about without being designed, and science still hasn't figured out everything there is to know, but please understand that it is possible for order to emerge without intelligent direction.
If you would like to understand emergent order better, look at the software Breve for examples of complex behavior emerging from simple constraints.
