because DNA is not self replicating because it has no enzyme activity, and RNA cannot replicate itself without DNA either. Both must have come into existence at the same time. Therefore, it must have been created.
Why couldn't DNA and RNA come from space aliens looking to terraform a planet for colonization? I see no reason why we should jump to the conclusion of a diety.

What is the simplest organism you can think of? Probably some kind of virus, which still has how many genes? The smallest one I have ever heard of still has a few hundred genes. The 'simplest' organism on Earth is still far to complicated to ever have evolved step-wise.
First of all, viruses are not considered to be "alive". Second of all, you have not shown any evidence that viruses, or even bacteria, are the simplest organisms EVER to live on earth. For you to claim that all life that has ever existed on earth was too complex to come about by natural mechanisms, you must first show us what the simplest, least complex organism to ever live on earth. Up to the challenge?
