Sigh. You're assuming creation (which is what you, presumably, want to prove). The apparent fine-tuning of the universe hasn't been established to be actual fine tuning, it presumes the cosmological constants could have varied in ways that we haven't established and that there is only one cosmos, which we also can't know at this time. The 'information' in DNA being the product of a mind is what you ought to be trying to establish, instead of just repeating it over and over as if you already have.
So true. He doesn't say it but I think these must be a few of the unstated links in his reasoning:
Any adequately satisfyingly complete theory of the origins of life must completely explain it.
If an unimaginably powerful agency beyond our comprehension had brought about life that would completely explain it.
It is necessary to have an adequately satisfying theory of origins.
If it is necessary to infer an unimaginably powerful agency in order to obtain a satisfying theory, then such an agency is also necessary.
Therefore such an agency exists .. and look! What we're looking for just happens to be found in the bible.
Case closed.
QED
Hurrah for us!
