Please Help! Trying to understand how information/instructions in DNA are not intelligence based

Just because we perceive information, it doesn’t in any objective way suggest a sentient being had to impart it, this is the same old god of the gaps polemic at it’s core, the debunked creationist claim that any complexity must imply a designer. The claim it is a deity is pure assumption, and that happens to match the religion they were born and indoctrinated into even more so.

We have evolved brains capable of learning and retaining large amounts of information, our imagination is clearly a survival tool, as it provides huge problem solving abilities. Evolution explains this very elegantly, as does natural selection. We don’t need appeals to mystery, or to add inexplicable magic from unevidenced deities. Occam’s razor applies here.
