“First DNA” , “at least a defined goal.” - It’s called theistic evolution, and my personal views are not far from it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theistic_evolution

Do you think it reasonable to teach theistic evolution in the schoolroom as a hypothesis for origin of first DNA/life?

Theistic evolution is not a provable hypothesis. It's a belief. It can certainly be an element of philosophy courses, it also deserves a mention in the context of a science course, on the occasion of discussing the very origins of life. But I wouldn't require the students to accept it as a proven fact.
