Maybe it's time to move on to something else?
For those keeping score at home: I don't have to claim that DNA isn't designed. I just see no evidence that it is. If it so happens that someone/thing did design it, then fine. I don't actually care. I'd have to conclude that the designer is within our (sub)reality, rather than outside it with total control. To suggest that someone outside could have designed our environment, and then us, and thinks they've done anything like a good job, is beyond ludicrous.
Of course, that's assuming they actually care about us at all, and we're not just part of some game or experiment. Those options seem more likely. Mind you, many theists do posit our life as a game, where we win or lose according to some arcane scorecard that we're supposed to decode from ancient books.
