Being a scientist does not make one immune from bias....
You've missed the fundamental point: the peer-review process involves scientists with
different biases.
A Muslim-biased scientist can't cite experimental results unless an atheist-biased scientist can repeat them. A Christian-biased scientist can't produce a theory that a Hindu-biased scientist won't accept. No one scientist's Republican bias or homosexual bias or vanilla-ice-cream bias determines the results that science produces.
It's rather like democracy - it's not a perfect system, but it's the best we humans can manage.
