Your argument for a programmer is merely the watchmaker argument dressed up in other clothes. It is flawed in many ways.

Using you analogy We can equate the universe to a very large computer with a set of rules (program) which it must adhere to. These rules contain and process information which lay down a blueprint for planets, and stars (how matter and energy interact). These rules are far more complex than the interactions of the simple base four mathematical model of DNA. In fact these rules are so complex we have yet to decipher them completely. Does this mean the Universe must have a creator. Not at all the Laws (program) which governs the universe is a function of how the universe began not a process which was began. These rules formed out of matter/energy interactions at the first few moments of creation. No programmer was needed merely an interaction between matter/energy and what we now know know as space-time. DNA processing of information (and it isn't really processing information the way computers do it it is expressing information not processing there is a difference.
