I don't think science should be qualified as a belief. It is what it is. Also, I don't understand why people pay more attention to something that has no proof. Although, to be fair, science doesn't really have proof either. No one actually knows for sure what is going on in this world and why we are here. What is beyond the galaxy? Is it really a galaxy or is it something like the little world of Horton Hears a Who!? Why do we even exist? Because as far as I know, we aren't helping by any means some certain purpose nor are we doing something important. We just exist. What for?
What I sense in The Selfish Gene is some kind of persuasion for us humans to be able to rely on science as a method of understanding. Beyond the physical aspects of science, there is a philosophy that tries to explain all of those questions. But, how do we know that we are doing the right thing? Scientists have spent centuries in trying to figure out numerous explanations to our existence. But how do they know that the answers they reach are correct?
Well, that's what Dawkins will try to explain, right?
