<HTML>Sri of course that (IMO) nobody can genuinely pretend that science is somehow completly objective and pure truth seeking excercise. Science is an abstraction which is excercised by scientist with all their human weaknesses and faults. Again in my opinion those scientist who pretend that they are searching for, or even managed to discover, some fundamental and everlasting cosmic "truths" are suffering from "delusion of grandeur". IMO science is an excercise where the best knowledge of the time is applayed to build model which reflects our understanding of nature in the best way possible. Fact is that some (accent on SOME) scientist just like some doctors or engineers, or any other profession I could mention, tend to be clanish and view any outsider who tries to stray onto their patch(and it includes even other braches of the same discipline) with hostility and suspicion. But that's just one of the ways human animal tend to behave, some are looking for what connect us but the majority seems to be hell bent on finding differences and divisions even where none had existed before.
