Theists assume that only a conscious superbeing could design something like DNA, when it is quite clear that mindless evolution can "design" complexity over long periods of time. You would have to prove the alternative impossible, which you can't do. Yours is an argument from incredulity.
As for your question, "How can you turn from Him?", you are assuming your particular God was the creator God. Even if you could prove DNA was created, you couldn't prove from that alone that it was your particular God who did it.
I "turn from Him" because a God is not the simplest and most likely explanation for what we see. God is a failed hypothesis.
God is the most likely. The prophecies in the Book came true.

Ever hear of "confirmation bias"?

The reason why a God is a less likely explanation is because it requires a whole other, unexplained "spiritual dimension" to reality. That is not an economical hypothesis.

No matter what this has to say it cannot defeat the design argument since a code was discovered in DNA.

Which does not equate to designer no matter how much you attempt to squeeze it in there.

You gonna start that new thread on prophecy, CDF47? Maybe it would break a thousand pages, too. In fact, I'm almost sure it would.

Lets just use this thread to discuss it unless a moderator takes issue with that. Plus, we already have been discussing it here.

I don't know if it's been brought up, but is this why you started the thread?
Yes, CDF47 is a Discovery Institute acolyte, and is particularly enthralled with Stephen Meyer. He lauded Meyer's book, Signature in the Cell. When pressed, however, CDF47 admitted he has not read that book, but was quite proud to point out that he has watched videos involving Meyer.
