Index Entry
DNA “is the area where the chemistry could be called crystallography. It could be called metals or it could be called animate. You could call it animate or inanimate. It is the complete threshold of the two. Because it is the threshold people who like to be prosaic and like to make man feel so small can say everything is just going to turn out to be inanimate chemistry and you are all the consequence of probabilities and you might as well jump in the river. This area, then, of the threshold is where DNA is found and the controls of the patterning of life are down to four compounds of chemistry which somehow or other develop a code and out of this code these four letters are all the designs that occur.”
