We're a lot more open-minded here than the general population, but even we might have our biases. Biases are found everywhere: in religion/spirituality/science/politics etc. and go in either direction. But it's especially disconcerting to find strong biases among those who claim to be approaching an issue logically, rationally, and scientifically. Yet such biases in the scientific community abound.
