I think the complexity of natural systems is still grossly underestimated, even by experienced scientists.
Even the effects of one cell on another, seems to be a daunting task in medical research, let alone the wider environmental effects on the development of life !
The sheer diversity of environmental permutations, and of the permutations life 'bits', is the one constant coming out of all research thesedays. Its staring us right in the face, but with reductionist analysis, followed by categorisation, I really do think the main focal points seem to get lost.
In which field is the focus on diversity of permutations, maintained against the enormous size of the universe ? To me, this seems to be the main message for us to be paying attention to, when we compare life to the universe !
Cheers
