science is biased by the views of the scientists.

Quite, but I would also say that science is a very limited tool as a religion. You have to get everyone else to agree on something for it's accepted as true. Is one person ever more enlightened then other people??

If you only use science as a tool to study the spiritual side of life you are encumbered enormously to a very dull representation of what is and what is not spiritual life.

To be a good scientist, science must not be your "religion" imho. I find it funny when we often see two sets of scientists argue over theories that don't mesh with each other. Illogical emotions come very much into play.

I regard science as a tool. Thus I am able to change my mind on a particular theory, or interpretation of, say... a set of experimental results fairly easily. It's my experience that those who have science as a religion tend to get stuck with there own ideas and are a little more unflexible. Just a personal observation though.
