You think you view things scientifically but in actual fact you don't. You are predisposed to a certain point of view and belief system, and everything you find or think you find supports what you are predisposed to believe. Not only are you as subjective as the next man, but in fact you are more subjective for your lack of awareness of the fact that you are subjective. It's like the blind leading the blind : Your assumption that you know something leads you to believe that you know, and so on. I wouldn't quite call it arrogance as it is based more on blindness than anything else. The same applies to the majority in the scientific community (read : clique).
