[JC85]

Science and technology are not the same thing.

ID is pure science—which has its place too. I have yet to see a real world application of string theory, which may or may not be true. That doesn’t mean string theory is not science—it’s just not applied science, at least not yet.

Western science grew out of theology--yes, theology. Europe's great universities were founded in medieval times by religious groups. It is the so-called “scholastic movement” that eventually developed into science.

Please don't take this as it might sound, but as used in the above context, what do you mean by "pure science"? What do you mean by "applied science"? These are not leading questions. I am genuinely curious.

The current version of ID is pure religion, cooked up after the Edwards decision of the US Supreme Court in an effort to sneak religion back into the schools.

You don't believe it, just look up “cdesign proponentsists” for the sordid details.
