Oh yes they bloody well are.

If science doesn't fully understand a phenomenon it sets about through
research and testing to to discover a repeatable, verifiable solution
to the unknowns within that phenomenon. Religion does not.

"no matter how honest scientists think they are, they are still
influenced by various unconscious assumptions that prevent them from
attaining true objectivity."

you've just confused "science" with "scientist" again.

Wilson may have. [1] I didn't. However science does not happen without
scientists and the above applies.

au contraire. Someone made a comment about science, and you replied
with a quote about scientists. I maintain you've confused the two.
