Hooray, a fallacy! Wooden logs do not have a natural affinity for each other, they do not reproduce, they do not mutate and they are not subject to selective pressure driving them towards becoming a log cabin. For these four reasons, among others, your argument is void.

Same with DNA. DNA is an intricate code, and a map to our design. You can't tell me that DNA just came out of nowhere. I've never seen an intricate code form in nature. DNA came from a creator.
If you see a log cabin in the forest, you know that man built it. And since we have never seen an intricate code form in nature, the most logical explanation is that DNA came from a creator.

Congratulations, that's the single most illogical thing I've read in a week. So here's your argument:
1. We have a code, DNA.
2. You assume it must have been intelligently designed.
3. Therefore it isn't natural.
4. Therefore it must have been intelligently designed.
Seriously?
Seriously? Do I even need to point out how much that argument doesn't work?

Right.
Fact = Something that happened.
Theory = How and why it happened.
