Intelligent design
The field of biochemistry is a interdisciplinary field.

Interdisciplinary thinking, which is a part of interdisciplinarity studies, "is the ability to combine knowledge, methods, and perspectives from different academic disciplines to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a topic or solve a complex problem. It involves recognizing the interconnectedness of various fields and integrating their insights to develop innovative solutions and approaches."[1]

The article The Untold Story of Vienna’s Global Influence indicates:

“ In the early 20th century, learning in the city took place in major educational institutions such as the University of Vienna, but also in coffeehouses and from private tutors. The result was a commitment to “exact thinking” — a term Cockett attributes to the mathematician Kurt Gödel, referring to the uniquely Viennese focus on methodological rigor and applying rational, scientific thinking and methods to other topics and fields. Viennese thought was also defined by the pursuit of interdisciplinary knowledge and the “liberating embrace of intellectual heterodoxy and political pluralism,” Cockett writes. This attitude, he argues, is best personified by the philosopher and physicist Ernst Mach, who blended his disciplines and helped inspire a generation of scientists and writers alike...

Cockett argues that many of these accomplishments would not have been possible without the methodological precision of the Viennese combined with their penchant for bringing together different disciplines to form something new. The field of consumer behavior in the United States, for example, blended psychology and psychoanalysis with market and economic research; Edward Bernays, an important figure in establishing that field, was a Viennese émigré (and, interestingly, the nephew of Sigmund Freud).[2]
