Evolution is just a fancy word we put on what we see in living things, but there is nothing magic in DNA or RNA. In an abstract sense, the emergence of some specific complex molecules from a bunch of precursors also is selection of the fittest (most stable, with the lowest energy of formation, etc). These are things at play in the production of amino acids in thermal vents, for example.
