state of the art in non-materialism

Intelligent Design is the study of a complex (and hitherto unacknowledged) technology underlying vast swaths of nature, a technology that clearly suggests a much bigger world of understanding than can possibly be explained under the current mainstream scientific paradigm. Obviously this technology has a source, and that source, were it to be tapped by OUR engineers, would have a vastly transformative potential. Imagine if we could somehow open a channel of communication to whoever designed the flagellum! It would make Wikipedia and Google look like Conservapedia by comparison. He, wherever and whatever he is, could provide us great wisdom and perhaps intercede in matters where we are too weak to accomplish things. Perhaps, for example, the ability to fly through space at greater than the speed of light is possible if only we could get the hand of the Designer involved. Maybe we could also find a way to arrange some middle ground where our lives transition into an afterlife in Heaven without us having to go through a miserable dozen years of dementia, nursing care, and death. And as for Moore's Law, what limits would there be to computation if we could tap into technological omnipotence? Today's octal-core Pentium Snackfoodeons would seem like the 6502s of yestermillennium.

I'd like to ask the scholars here on this site if any of them knows of research in these fields. It would seem to me that the great polytechnic schools of America should be exploring these technologies so we have a leg up on the Chinese. Though their society is built on a transparently false-to-nonexistent religious foundation, it's clear that they are an industrious people, and with them graduating 644,106 engineers every year to our 72,893, it's clear that they'd be likely to find how to tap into the power of non-materialist engineering if only they began looking. And that, my friends, would be our loss.
