Well I know biologists (who are also recent grads) that would disagree with that. You will have to forgive me if I believe them over a stranger. I have enough knowledge of their powers of bias detection to trust the assessment. Everyone has biases, some just hide it better than others. The closer someones beliefs are to your own the harder it is to detect bias.

Talon, all I ask is that you provide some examples of bias. Are professors who present evidence behind widely accepted theories biased? Is a professor who is teaching molecular structure and DNA biased? The professor isn't providing alternative theories? While its impossible to remove all bias from anything, the only bias these professors hold to a bias toward scientific validity. Now don't get me wrong I am sure there are plenty of bad professors who over-steps their bounds but I think you are making some gross over-generalizations.

Off the top of my head after a long day at work (freeping :P) I don't have a specific quote handy. Try this, find any paper about biology that discusses some feature of an animal and you will with a high probability find a mention of the fact that it evolved to be that way. No they will not state it as a fact they just slip it in there as background or in the conclusion. I have seen papers about something unrelated to evolution that still slip in references to it in the conclusions despite that fact the details of the paper have no evidence of HOW the thing researched came to be. They just assume that it evolved that way. Even assuming evolution IS true it is never a good idea to jump from research in to WHAT something is and how it works into pure speculation (couched as fact) as to how that thing came about.
