Not without an intelligent mind behind it.

Well, it's not impossible that it could do so, but that's a false analogy.
If logs would combine with other logs, on touch, to form walls etc, and if they could move around and reproduce, then yeah, you'd end up with a whole city of log cabins reasonably quickly, each unique.

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.

You've never seen a molecule? Never seen a snowflake? Never seen a tree? Never seen a rock?
Nature is full of "information" being created all the time.
In addition, DNA didn't appear "out of nowhere", it evolved from self-replicating molecules.

Define information, then.
That sounds stupid, but I always have to bring this up: What do you consider information? Define it exactly. Give me a test I can put something through to decide if it is information or not.
Often creationists say throw the word "information" about without actually knowing what it means, so they change the definition every time a counter-example is given.

So, how can you assume that DNA created itself?

I don't. I "assume" it evolved.
