It's actually an information encoding system, not just my terminology. Just like computer or other languages, morse code, etc.

There's likely at least one other encoding system besides that one that is involved in protein synthesis. I suspect there is more that isn't even suspected yet.
At any rate, there's no natural process that can create an information encoding system. That such systems exist can only mean that the creator wants life to exist, that inference seems obvious to me.
As for self-conscious life with free will, again there's no set of natural processes that can produce that. Recognizing this there are some scientists who claim free will is an illusion:
... On the 15th of July, 1838, Charles Darwin began a notebook which he labeled as “M”, in which he intended to write down his correspondence, discoveries, musings, and speculations on “Metaphysics on Morals and Speculations on Expression”. On page 27 of that notebook, he wrote
“…one doubts existence of free will every action determined by hereditary constitution, example of others or teaching of others. (…man…probably the only [animal] affected by various knowledge which is not heredetary & instinctive) & the others are learnt, what they teach by the same means & therefore properly no free will. [Emphasis added]
In his private musing on the question of free will, Darwin came to the conclusion that human free will is an illusion, and that all of our actions (and, by extension, our thoughts and intentions) are the result of our “hereditary constitution” and “the example…or teaching of others.”
Some evolutionary biologists, notably William Provine of Cornell University, have followed Darwin’s lead and asserted that human free will is an illusion.
