The stereotype of a fully rational and objective 'scientific method,' with individual scientists as logical (and interchangeable) robots, is self-serving mythology."

Stephen Jay Gould, "In the Mind of the Beholder," Natural History, February 1994

Another creationist tactic: the out-of-context quote.  What Gould then went on to note is that the data sorts through all these prejudices independent of what the scientist thinks.

Tsk, tsk, Christian Soldier, shame on you for violating the 9th Commandment so shamelessly.  Or are "soldiers" exempt from the Commandments?
