Even the location of earth in the system had to have been ordered for us to have an atmosphere

No. It just so happened that it did. If Earth had been somewhere else, then it wouldn't have an atmosphere and we wouldn't be here.

Scientist have come to the conclusion that we got here not by some primordial goo but by a very specific and ordered number of events.

You confuse "specific and ordered number of events" with "creation by a being with specific intentions".

Yes there were a number of events that led to the state of the universe as it is today. That does not imply or necessitate intention or "design".
