That is I think a straw argument. DNA does not agree or disagree with anything, It does what it is programed to do.

Where is another creature that can reason or put a man on the moon. Humans are distinct and separate.

It's not a "straw argument" at all. It is the observation that a serious alternative explanation had not been offered, and so no serious response was warranted.

But as to humans being separate and distinct, what exactly about human reason do you find qualitatively different from all other living things? Certainly we have quantitative gifts, but so do blue whales, cheetahs and bristlecone pines.

Do you honestly believe that other animals do not reason?
