The difference is that science has structures to ferret them out . . .

Science does not have a text whereby it may judge the truth of a matter. Whatever structures science may have to ferret out fraud may be fraudulent, too. Is it supposed to be some kind of wonder that science perpetrated a fraud, and then corrected it? To the extent science seeks out something other than intelligent design it will not make heads or tails of an intelligible universe. The physical world behaves according to laws established by a lawgiver. To the extent science chooses to discard this paradigm (which happens to be in accord with the biblical texts) it will veer into either fraud or philsophies of vapid, perhaps harmful, import.

And even if science did seek ID, we still can't know everything because we don't have the Mind of God. The universe will remain unintelligible.

But computers are still pretty cool. I wouldn't want to have to give mine up.

Philosophy is written in this grand book - I mean universe - which stands continuously open to our gaze, but which cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth.
Galileo (1623)

More sophomoric psychobabble musings? You really need to learn the subject at hand.
