Interpretation or Truth

Chapter 3 speaks mostly of DNA, chromosomes, and hoy genetic material is transfered from one generation to the next. Although it is a lot to take in, once again I am surprised by how simple Dawkins makes it seem. The idea of the binder and the architect plan he uses to describe recessive and dominant genes was an interseting metaphor which I found perfectly suitable. I found it curious how in page 23 Dawkisn says he "shall introduce other metaphors". Writers never let the reader know when they are about to introduce metaphors, they simply do. This is a way in which I believe science books such as The Selfish Gene differ from fictional novels. Books like this are straightforward. They contain no rhymes, no embelishments. They say everything exactly how it is. Science books don't pretend to break the fall, or dress facts up. Some people may find this to be the beauty of science, that things don't exactly vary, there is barely any room for interpretation. Science is facts supported by experiments and proof. I find the sibjectivity of fiction to be more enjoyable, but then again that is just an opinion.
