That's a given.  Take coffee - over two thousand chemicals and we know only
a very few of them.  Take a tree - influenced by other trees, microbes in
the soil, pollutants in the air (read National Book Award winner
"Overstory" and you will never think of trees the same way again).  Yes,
biological nature is far more complex.

It's that tiny god doing all this:  DNA
