Tempted perhaps, but that does not necessarily mean that a person will be
one sided. While I would agree that most people tend to present things from
their own perspective and will use only the evidence which supports their
view, some will present the other side and will allow people to decide for
themselves.
Just look at Fox News.:)

I wish this were true but it is not. All of us are tempted to select the
evidence and we shouldnt deny it.
We need to realise that we are liable to do it

You are describing a lawyer's tactic, and a YEC tactic. I would hope
that those of us who bear the "Christian label" are not picking and choosing
what fits and what does not. If I knew where Jesus' bones were buried, I'd
shout it from the roof tops. Any of us should. That's what separates us
and safeguards our Christian message.
