Is atheism a scientific perspective?

[Whateverist]

I can't believe you just OMGUS'd* non-Christian scientists over their lack of god belief.  You've identified no personal bias likely to distort their findings yet cast shade on them all gratuitously.  Worse, you seem to feel that dancing around your own easily identifiable bias some how inoculates the lot of you against any further occurrence of personal bias.  You give no reason for either finding non-Christian scientists biased or finding Christian scientists less biased.  I'd say this post of yours indicates your personal bias immunity theory is bunko.

Do you really think that non-religious scientists are unbiased? That is an unfortunate consequence of how science is portrayed. Many scientists are extremely biased when it comes to results that deal with worldview issues. For example, things like thiomersal being used in medicines, the extent to which obesity is genetic, and scientific questions with religious implications are all topics with which many scientists have already made up their mind. I didn't say that Christian scientists are less biased, I said that because their apparent bias is so obvious, they must be kept in check, while the other scientists whose biases are less obvious can go sort of undetected.

Last time I checked you're the only one throwing the claims around fast and loose. I never said any scientists are immune to bias. Since they're all human I'd assume the opposite. However I'm aware of no popularly held biases regarding origins which have the obvious empirical implications which belief in creation and an afterlife do. That is why so many believers who show up here immediately start slinging around NDE's so hopefully. No one is tempted by that kind of BS unless they've already signed up for god belief.
