I think you give human kind too much credit - you think that we're so smart.
I see a lot of this kind of language "that the cells are so sophisticated that we still don't know much
Why do you think we're so smart? What if we're actually the dumbnuts of the Earth? Heck, we still don't know much about quantum mechanics and the physical nature of the world - why should we be able to know everything there is to know about the chemical and biological underpinnings of life?
In my opinion, it'll take at least another couple billions of years before any sentient being on Earth will come to understand how the cellular machinery came to be. When it took a few billion years to evolve, don't you think it would take at least that long to understand? When you get to 2 or 3 billion years old, then you deserve to ask that question - Why don't we get it yet?. Until then, please understand that we don't know jack about the real nature of how biological organisms are put together, and all we can do is continue to experiment, continue to learn.
