Nature _is_ technology. It’s far too advanced for us to understand. And perhaps due to not-invented-here syndrome, we tend to try and recreate it (crudely).

We're part of nature too. Is the technology we produce also part of nature?
It is, but it's a somewhat different point. Or perhaps the same one, taken from the other end.

I tend to phrase GP's point as: life is nothing but molecular nanotech that we didn't design ourselves, and don't fully understand yet.
