Great thread Freezy!
I must say I don't feel that science (scientists, physicists, etc. in general) is closed minded. As you know from my thread I'm still trying to figure out how, why, and where they "draw the line" when it comes to topics of study.
Granted there are probably those that latch to a specific hypothesis and refuse to accept any other thus contaminating their work but it's likely a very small percentage.

The scientific community may appear closed minded in their rejection of certain claims. But I would posit that that arrises out of protectionism of scientific integrity. I mean, consider the vast amount of unsupported conjecture presented as truth or fact that circulates through societies worldwide distorting perception. The scientific community is obligated to demand that information be properly categorized relative to how well it can be substantiated.-Reason

Here lies a source of my own confusion with regard to science.
