Put a frog in a blender and blend well. All the chemicals are there so the chemical reactions should continue if it's just chemicals doing chemistry.
Oh, how asinine.
When we say "just chemicals doing chemistry" ignorant people try to twist this into "all chemistry is every chemistry" as your blended frog example attempts to smear.
No. We mean that when the components and the environment are right the specific chemistry happens without the need of some inexplicable invisible magic.
When hydrogen gas and oxygen gas mix under a condition of thermodynamic excess ... poof!... chemistry happens. Water is formed. No magic sky daddy with his magic dick in the apparatus is necessary.
Chemicals doing chemistry. Making water the non-magic way.
In your frog example you have disrupted the chemical environment to the point it can no longer do its frog thing. You have only a non-differentiated mush that not even your imagined magic sky daddy could form back into a frog. Go ahead. Leave it on your kitchen counter. Let's see how long it takes for your magic man to put it back together.
