Yes. And beyond raw computation, the protein machines within the DNA read copies of the DNA strands as input, and these are processed through other, already created protein machines, which translate the incoming code into subsequent strands which are then used by other machines to produce the final result. This is two layers of decryption ... raw data through a dictionary parser converted to another "language", and then that new language is processed by the final machine.
It's like taking source code and processing it into binary code which then runs in the computer. Absolutely astounding! And this happens in millions of different ways inside every cell, and all by proteins manufactured by the very DNA that it replicates.
It's that information that had to come from some originating source. The base elements were all there after creation, but it's the organization and preparation into the form we see, where everything has been arranged ... this is the part not possible without a designer, a creator.

Exactly. It's beyond anything imaginable. And especially so for a programmer. I note that on this page:

Yes. Computers do not build themselves. DNA does. DNA creates proteins which read the DNA to produce more proteins, as well as exact copies of itself. In addition, there are these tiny machines which continuously ride up and down the DNA strands correcting errors.
Everything screams of a designer. And in the Bible, we have found the loving God who is this designer. Our Creator. The one who demands perfection, yet saved us from imperfection because of His tremendous love for us.
