The science education literature suggests that the public and students often hold narrow stereotypicalviews of scientists and science. Here we argue that it is important that students and thepublic understand the basis on which scientists make scientific claims. The inquiry sought todevelop an understanding of the scientific mind, explored through Gauld’s (2005) notion of‘habits of mind’. The vehicle used to explore these ideas consisted of an inquiry into how scientistsrationalise conflicts between scientific theories and religious beliefs which are not in agreementwith consensually-accepted scientific theories. Twenty scientists from different scientificdisciplines and levels of seniority were interviewed using as a basis an instrument containing aseries of religious-based item statements that a panel of scientific and religious experts consideredwere in agreement with a variety of religious doctrines yet in disagreement with current scientificthinking, or for which there is at present no supporting evidence from a variety of scientific disciplines.These statements acted as an interview protocol and formed the basis for interactivediscourse, which was audio-taped, transcribed verbatim and participant-validated. These dataprovide a window into scientific thinking as practiced by modern scientists, and helps develop apicture of these scientists’ ‘habits of mind’. The findings suggest that these scientists, unlike theirstereotype, hold idiosyncratic views of what constitutes good scientific evidence and sound, credibletestimony
