Subjective: Biased; based on personal views or feelings
Objective: Free from bias or subjectivity; based on fact, not emotions

Science has a special status as the trusted and factual source of knowledge for many, here is a very interesting take:Science works withing a paradigm meaning that it works within a fairly closed system of ideas. Science overcomes this by changing its paradigm, however the existence of paradigms in science indicates subjectivity.

The paradigm is just the scientific method, which is an objective and effective way of obtaining information.

There is nothing subjective about actual science. Having a fairly closed system of ideas (as in, how to obtain the knowledge) does not add subjectivity.

Science is always true, it's the people that look at the 'evidence' that aren't.
Evolution is not a science theory because science theories have to be able to be tested. It is mere speculation, a religion in a sense when men start saying things disprove God when it is looking at evidence rather than testing.

Some sciences, when overlapped, are simply paradoxical.
Also, using different paradigms is a tool to limit the subjectivity, so the initial condition of subjectivity is a bit irrelevant.
