In May 2004 leading atheistic philosopher Antony Flew spoke at a symposium at New York University where he was supposed to be debating believers.  He shocked his audience by announcing that he now believed there is a God.  He explained to the audience why he changed his mind.
What I think the DNA material has done is that it has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements to work together.  It's the enormous complexity of the number of elements and the enormous subtlety of the ways they work together.  The meeting of these two parts at the right time by chance is simply minute.  It is all a matter of the enormous complexity by which the results were achieved, which looked to me like the work of intelligence.
