By default, such is. If not, then computer programs would write themselves (putatively) in the same way DNA “wrote” itself.

DNA mutates and self-replicates. A theistic god who intervenes in writing every single protein sequence, instead of them being constructed based on a set of natural laws is more of the Islamic tradition, where Allah intervenes in every leaf that falls and every drop of water that drips.

And computer programs CAN write themselves, of given basic parameters to react to certain conditions. My company sells a neural modeling API that does such a thing.

By the same philosophy, creator sets up process of DNA creation, process takes over.

That's still deism, not theism.
