Chemistry and physics says that if it's identical situation you should get identical results.

But that's really hard to archive. I mean the gas might have more carbon or oxygen or less or something making it not exactly the same. The driver might suddenly lose an ounce of weight, the tires might not have the exact same amount of tread, you might start a couple of mms off making the incline different, the car might drift differently.

So theoretically putting the identical dna into an identical situation would give you identical products.




No you can't conceive that?
Not counting other factors, such as influence or free will, that seems theoretically sound. But there is a problem with that. Everyone's DNA is different and unique to them (with the exception of some identical twins and such) so the thinking is fundamentally flawed.
