"only one religion is not dogmatically at odds with the fabric of the fundamental universe: Buddhism."
Really? Is reincarnation in keeping with science? Renunciation of desire?

Re. your last paragraph, I hope you understood what you were talking about because I don't and I don't think anyone else who will read it will either. I think you started out your post comparing quantum theory to complexity theory but in the last paragraph you seem to be applying quantum theory itself to complexity theory or something.

Now, we have simulations of dynamical systems approaching the complexity of life,

Life is pretty darn complex. Are you sure we have simulations which approach the complexity of life? If so, why not simply computer model life itself? Then we can read the printout and find out how life arose.

and the minds in other sciences haven't yet grasped the full meaning of quantum theory. Even basic chemistry's assumption of path independence may be wrong on large scales of complexity. That's LIFE! And it doesn't matter whether its amino acids or silicon flipflops. In very small, but potentially complex relationships, we just don't get to see why a particular thing happens by simply summing its parts. It doesn't keep us from looking, but emergent phenomena can't be studied except as a wave function that varies over time...

I've always had the opinion that quantum theory applied to quantum particles not the macro world which includes "amino acids or silicon flipflops". It seems like you're saying quantum theory applies to non-quantum things. But I probably don't understand what you're saying. Hope you do. Can you repeat it in simple English?
