Alright, but what is the point of DNA replicating itself. I wonder about DNA and if it made the decision to keep itself alive. It became aware of its own existence and perpetrated it. If not, then we’re did the self Replication start. If we follow it, particles would therefore attempt to maintain their state and form larger particles as a product of their maintaining. So, if particles maintain themselves, then, is the Big Bang, an attempt at the universe maintaining itself infinitely (assuming another one starts after the end of this universe).
I find it hard to follow the person maintaining themselves to the DNA as I have no concept of DNA’s consciousness just the idea that some RNA self replicate. States return to maximum entropy. The most stable form of the system. When everything is stable though, nothing will happen, or maybe something does happen in stability. In stability, one movement could mean a massive reaction.

DNA is not conciouss, first molecule that replicated itself was not DNA, we know it couldnt be DNA but we still dont know which one was. that molecule was formed by chance in a situation where millions of millions of ramdom chemical reactions where happening, then the replication continued and evolved by a blindly, its loo long to explain here mate, read about evolution and you will undersand why it happens blindly
