What is the DNA of an atom? And did the process of atomic evolution go extinct?

Are molecules and atoms the result of the same survival mechanisms I associate with DNA? Is the structure of an atom its DNA? Is what makes up an atom the result of an evolutionary survival process? If so, what is their equivalent to DNA? Did the survival process produce a result that was so successful at surviving that further evolution ceased? Is the result of the evolutionary process for DNA heading for the same eventual extinction? If I could live forever, what forces might drive me to change?
