Makes some sense if you consider that the essence of life (the genetic pillar) needs physico-chemical processes to express itself - in fact it is practically "invisible", is more informatin than matter and has limited material footprint without them.

Inverting that map, that is, proving that a certain physico-chemical process must have been coordinated and catalysed specifically by genetic processes seems quite non-trivial. But maybe not impossible, at least in a probabilistic way, taking into account some objective measures of entropy or something similar.
