there is some fallacy in such discussing of the precise state of chaotic dynamic systems.

It is not possible to exactly reproduce the state we have with life on Earth, like it isn't possible to get precisely the same weather in 2 different days - both are results of unimaginably many values behaving and interacting in unique way and even minor change will change the resulting outcome . Yet there are a lot of days that look and feel very similar and there is 99.9999999% chances that tomorrow, for example, we wouldn't have 150 F in San-Francisco while we can't be sure what precisely it will be - 60 or 70 or 50?

Does the life evolution system have such bound-ness and attractor-ness properties - well, as of now we can only guess. My guess is "yes".

Btw. Uniqueness because of complexity, in the sense of "evolved only once", stinks like Creationism/ID
