I am surprised that people in biology are trying to build predictive theories.

Even in physics the moment one needs to deal with a number of strongly interactive components, we cannot calculate from the first principles. We still have no theory for high-temperature superconductors. We even cannot calculate properties of metallic hydrogen. And this is the simplest material that can exist, just a soup of electrons and protons.
