"just depends on number and sequence" - Sure the letters used in a Shakespearean play and your post are identical and only differ in number and sequence too. The significant thing about DNA is that information is symbolically encoded in it .... just like information encoded in books or software.

If you think information creates itself, develops its own coding system, and writes itself .... you don't need a designer/creator. But the idea information can call itself into being and encode itself is so incredible its equivalent to believing in miracles. One way or another life is a miracle. Either its an intended miracle caused by some intelligence or its a freak accident .... frankly the latter is by far the harder to believe.
