DNA contains coded information that is used, for instance, to create proteins through a translation system (i.e., “compiler”). Such information, like computer code or written text, comes only from intelligence. Because DNA contains such information, it, too, must have come from an Intelligence. As Christians, we know that this Creator is Jesus Christ.
Debate
Evolutionist: New genetic information could have come about by gene duplication, alteration, and shuffling.
Response: This does not explain how the information being shuffled arose in the first place. 1

Notes
- Meyer, 2013, p. 219: “In any case, all such scenarios also beg the question. There is a big difference between shuffling and slightly altering preexisting sequence-specific modules of cuntional information and explaining how those modules came to possess information-rich sequences in the first place.” ↩
