why hasn't the 'creation' been repeated.

It probably has, however the first forms of reproducing chemicals would be so basic that they would just look like food to be absorbed by existing bacteria. Such a primitive arrangement could not compete with the fully formed life of today. 4 billion years ago, however, there was nothing to eat them and they would have a chance to stick around.
