I say a more honest statement would be, "Science strives to be objective. And has made significant progress in doing so. Some biases still plague science and make it less objective than it could be. But still, it's remarkably objective."

The human mind is inherently limited, with built-in biases. Many of these are not like homophobia, which can be educated away. This is more like the inability of rats to comprehend prime numbers. Their minds just don't go that far. 

We are animals who evolved a certain way, and we see the world in that way.

Nullius in verba.
