Are perceptions bias?

Generally, yes. Perceptions are subjective, and subjectivity is bias. Science is the attempt to suppress that inherent human quality and study objectively.

Also, please don't misunderstand, I agree with science

Likewise, i also appreciate and value science as a method of learning about the world and gaining new understanding and capacity/ability.

I believe that science done properly should be believed

Science should NEVER be believed. Belief has no place in science whatsoever - that’s what religion is for. Belief is the enemy of knowledge and objective study of any kind.

One of the best things about science is that it requires no (and is, in fact, significantly hindered by) belief!

and is oftentimes difficult to differentiate

If you don’t know what science is, you can never differentiate between it and pseudoscience/religion/mythology presented under its guise. This is the purpose of the ubiquitous scientific illiteracy we suffer from.

I disagree with your first point. Perspective is not bias, it forms bias. Second point we both agree upon. Third point, I didn't clarify what I meant properly. I meant that science done right should be agreed with but still questioned in a likewise scientific manner. I confused this with belief as they are similar in conceptual structure. Agreed. I sometimes don't communicate what I think well with words, as concepts can be stated many ways incorrectly, and but few correctly.
