The designation of three nucleic bases as a codon is not a chemical reaction.

Again to code thesis....if I take 5-10 chemical elements I can arrange them to produce 100's of different compounds and no ID was needed....

If a chemist took chemical elements and arranges them into various compounds that IS intelligent design. The chemist is the intelligent actor there.

.why would one be needed for the genetic "code".

Because its a code! Something is designated as signifying something else .... not as a result of a physical, chemical, biological law. Just like "B" denotes (stands for) a particular sound, a particular codon denotes (stands for) a particular amino acid or the message "STOP".
