I'm on the same page as Bill Gates, the concept of DNA and my background in programming led me to believe there was a creator. DNA is a 2-bit represented binary system, it is literally the same thing as compiled computer code with opcodes (primers) and modules (chromosomes). I've actually written software to deal with DNA in that sense (https://code.google.com/p/dnaprimers/). Structured, ordered information does not spontaneously generate itself, going back to philosophy and the monkey typewriter thing.

Existence existing is proof enough of a supernatural architect.
I think we already laughed enough at people trying to apply the second law of thermodynamics when they actually have no idea what it means. But please keep bringing that up. It's good to get as many of you people out in the open as possible.

Also, if DNA is so well designed, why is it that we need 6 bits (3 base pairs) to encode 20 amino acids? Even with the necessary start and stop codons, you only need 22 of the possible 64 combinations to actually create genes. That's 42 duplicate slots. It would have been far more efficient to use a 3 letter alphabet or a 5 letter alphabet. But I guess God wasn't too good at remedial math.
