"One of the more troubling aspects of the contemporary debate over
evolution is the largely unargued presumption that critics of evolution
must be motivated by religion, whereas defenders of evolution are
supposedly the disinterested pursuers of truth. Yet evolutionary
biologists are human beings just like everyone else, which means that
they are subject to the same influences of passion, pride, and even
prejudice. If scientists start to dismiss their colleague's work based
solely on motivation... not much would be left of science."
