Yeah but they themselves are not considered to be alive although they have the DNA. And they might have existed before life began.
But I guess the reason many people mistakenly think that DNA and RNA just came into existence is because things that existed before are not referred/ considered to be alive and therefore it gets confusing.
What existed before were not living things but various chemical machines.
Like in this video, it is explained how first proto cells might have started existing, based on the observations of spontaneous creation of fatty accids that then automatically form a membrane which is very similar to a membrane of a living cell, which can then trap other molecules and go further in chemical evolution.
And this video by same author shows even further about the connection between those observed chemical machines and how they led to RNA

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
