"Nature doesnt process information mathematically we as humans explain these processes in mathematical terms."

Math per se is an abstract construction, you are correct, but what we see in real life is that concrete, physical and/or electrical substances can be arranged in deliberate, mathematical ways.

Human software does this with highly organized Base 2 (i.e. Binary) instruction sets that our CPU's process. DNA does likewise with Base 4 base pairs (A, C, G, T).

You are still describing a natural process using mathematical notation and in such it is not a mathematical process but a natural one. Math is not absolute in fact our math would be radically different if we lived in a universe with slightly different physical laws.

Base four base ten etc mathematical process are merely expressions we create to describe these processes and nothing more. DNA is complex and there is no doubt but there are many complex interaction in nature which rely on differing mathematical concepts to describe them.

I dont see how your argument proves the existence of God?
