An example of simile used in scientific writing:
"Like a Tibetan prayer-wheel, Selection Theory murmurs untiringly: 'Everything is useful.' But as to what actually happened and which lines evolution has actually followed, selection theory says nothing, for the evolution is the product of 'chance', and therein obeys no 'law'."
Ludwig von Bertalanffy
