However, two atoms forming a molecule is NOT an example of encoded information

It is the beginning, but the process doesn't stop there, there is 13bil yrs more to go from the first hydrogen giants forming to the formation of the earth, one doesn't forget the long ages yet to come. Maybe you do, but science doesn't.

Its amusing on one hand creationists and God-of-the-gaps evolutionists argue that nature is unable to create life naturally so supernatural touches must have occurred (leaving no traces of itself). Then here comes the fine-tuners (often the same people) arguing the constant laws of nature are exquisitely set up to lead to life, so therefore they must have been supernaturally created. You can't have it both ways.

The fine-tuning argument would tell us that the Sun is shining so that we see where we are going. But the human eye evolved to be sensitive to light from the sun, so the universe is not fine-tuned for humanity, its more apt to say that life & we are fine tuned by evolution to the world around us.

The universe isn't fine tuned for us, we are fine tuned to it.
