Science has changed significantly over the past several "modern" centuries. There was a time when much of Western science both depended upon and acknowledged its dependence upon God. Those days are gone. Even so, "science" has not been quite so "rational" as people think. The place of verificationism is one example of science's acceptance of sound challenges and corrections to its framework and presuppositions.
The perpetual connection between science and philosophy also expresses itself in a link with religion. It's not that science is linked with some example of ecclesiology that we're familiar with because of their buildings all around us. Rather, as Roy Clouser clarifies so well in The Myth of Religious Neutrality, to be religious is to depend upon something divine. Marxism, for example, depends upon the presumption of a divine materialism and dialectic. Perhaps someone can find a suitable avenue to apply these principles to law; perhaps a judge who is a philosopher will recognize that the porported neutrality and objectivity of science; perhaps giving ID the hearing it deserves.
