Another limitation of science is that science is a social enterprise and current societal ideological fashions can impinge on the objectivity of scientists and squash dissent. Also, the [[fall of man]] and man's sinful nature introduces problems into the scientific community such as scientific fraud, scientists engaging in immoral research such as [[eugenics]], egotistical scientists making proclamations beyond their expertise and scientists actively suppressing various truths (see: [[Suppression of alternatives to evolution]] and [[Evolution and Cases of Fraud, Hoaxes and Speculation]] and [[Atheism and deception]]).
