Correct, except here, we can observe Obama himself to know otherwise.
Right. So why the special pleading regarding DNA?
the challenge to the naturalist is to provide a single example of coded information that occurs naturally, outside the realm of life, outside the realm of DNA.
If we can use Obama to falsify the premise that all american presidents are white, why can we not use DNA to falsify the premise that all codes are created by a conscious mind?
It also vaguely smacks of moving the goal post. That is, when we find what you're looking for, you claim it's not really the answer and define a new target for us.
I, for one, certainly don't trust your conclusion because not only is your premise false, but you are engaging in fallacies which undermine the validity of any argument.
Try again.

Not only that, the special pleading is equivalent to saying that you can only prove that not all american presidents are white if you can find a non-white president except for Obama.
Do catholics count?
