Your entire OP is nothing more than a giant argument from ignorance.
"Well, I can't imagine how it could have arisen naturally, so must have been god".
That thinking has never once worked to explain the universe in the past (disease, storms, earthquakes, famine, etc all attributed to a god in the past, now have natural explanations), chances are very slim that it is the answer now.
Complexity is not evidence of design. We recognize design by comparing it to things that occur naturally.
DNA is NOT a code or a language. It is chemistry.
DNA is a code that is used to encode RNA which is used to encode protein sequences.
As such it shows that an intelligent being made it unless you can show it came from random processes.
False dichotomy: chemistry is not random and no one thinks the chemical pathways that led to DNA were random. It was a selective process that took some time and is a bit murky to us today. As for the precise pathway(s) that led to the formation of RNA/DNA, people are working on that. Are you so impatient for an answer that you'll settle for a bad one?
Whatever the answer turns out to be, you can bet your ass it wasn't Yahweh playing mad scientist before turning his attention to the really important things like prohibiting people from eating shellfish or wearing blended fabrics.
