"Also, I believe you are exaggerating the complexity of the 
atmosphere. It is nowhere near as complex as, say, an ecosystem or a 
living cell. The mechanisms by which DNA controls cells, and the 
workings of the human brain, are perhaps the most complex phenomena 
in the known universe."

But not as chaotic as the atmosphere, of course. Chaos and complexity 
are two separate and unrelated characteristics.

There are some systems that are completely chaotic but quite simple 
(at some levels), such as radioactive decay.
