DNA is the equivalent of a book which is over 600,000 pages long. Obviously, such a thing would have to have a creator. Pretty simple.
There are coral reefs thousands of miles long. Did they need a "creator"?
I'm unconvinced.
This reads like: "I can't possibly understand this, therefor god." To me.
It would be like saying: I have no idea how something as massive and strong as a star could be formed through natural processes. So it is obvious god handmade the stars.
Oh brother. You may have mis lead us with you tag. Perhaps, non-thinking skeptic would be truth in advertising.
Religultards get like that. If you've never once questioned your faith then you've never thought about it. Not thinking is encouraged by the church brass, thinking is a bad thing.
It wasn't God that did it, it was aliens! 👽
I've seen that movie too.
It's the equivalent to a book being written over a period of 3.5 billion years, with an editor (natural selection) that removes any bits that are useless or unhelpful.

Actually there's a lot of junk in human DNA, at least.
In that case, the overabundance of information too could be interpreted as 'not proof' for a particularly intelligent creator-god. I mean, why put all that unessecary junk in there?
There's also a lot of random chaos in DNA that helps it work properly.

If it doesn't affect our chances of survival in a significant way, the editor doesn't catch it. If a population lives underground for a significant number of generations, though, the editor might take the functionality of your eyeballs away, because that's just wasted energy.

Show that the two are one-to-one equivalent.
I'll wait. ♫Jeopardy theme♫
I dunno?
Not hard 'disproof'.
But you know; perfect god would make it perfectly.
Reality shows unnecessary 'complexity'.
Therefor supposed creator probably isn't all-knowing, were he to exist.

Ah, got it. "DNA shows the work of an incompetent god or gods."
The hallmark of design is efficient simplicity. DNA could hardly be less efficient or simple. Large chunks of our (or any other organism's) DNA could be outright removed without any ill effect.
And the DNA we have often bears striking similarities to that of other mammals. Almost like we had common ancestors or something.

How do you know God isn't an alien?
In fact, I don't know. But the Christian God isn't an alien.
