So, John Paul, if God likes DNA more than RNA, why did He endow some nice little virii (like HIV) with RNA?
​
Possible evolutionist answers: (1) RNA and DNA work equally well for a virus (2) Virii are polyphyletic.

I also think what you might be asking about conserved DNA patterns is the fact that the triplet code of DNA and RNA is conserved acrossed most living things. For example, the basepair sequence CTT in DNA is going to code for the amino acid glutamic acid in most living things on Earth, including people.
