i don't see why chemistry is any different from biology....
Yes, biology is chemistry. The difference is the complexity involved. There are a huge number of different chemical molecules in a single cell. It is the interaction of these different molecules that creates life. The thing about it is that the interactions are so complex that it is impossible to completely describe them all. The best that biologists have come up with so far is a general description. They know what the molecules are and have made a lot of discoveries about the interactions, but there is still lot that isn't understood. The question is: Just how does life emerge from chemistry? It appears to be one of those emergent things that appear to come about without us being able to predict it from basic principles (in this case the theory of how molecules form).
