There's strong evidence that all life on this planet can trace back to a single strand of DNA, which evolved exactly once in our billions of years.

For example, if I understand this correctly, a random jumble of DNA as you describe would have a 50/50 chance of twisting to the right or twisting to the left. And yet all life on earth uses DNA that is "right handed" twisting to the right.
