Your ownership of a resource is dependant upon your ability to enforce it, and it doesn't take a government to do that. Try taking a dead mouse away from a feral cat, and you'll see what I mean.

ID is identically equal to creationism. For design automatically implies a designer; to talk of design whilst denying the designer, is akin to talking of music, whilst denying the musician. And who else other than god could this designer be ? Ask yourselves this question, could there be a designer of life who ISN'T god ?

I remember my apple 2. The manuals where fantastic; a complete circuit schematic, plus a printed ROM dump. Can't imagine getting something like that today.

Recorded human history is about 3000 years, but industrial civilization is only 200 years old. (The first railroad ticket was sold in 1808; that's a good starting point for deployed industrial technology.)
I prefer to use the first deployment of the steam engine as a starting point, which pushes it back to 300 years. By 1808 the steam engine had been in wide spread use all over England for nearly a century, and Watts patent was expired.

Industrial civilization is only about 200 years old. It's convenient to start at 1808, the first year somebody bought a train ticket.
Try 300 years. By 1808 the steam engine was nearly 100 years old, and James Watts patents on it had already expired.
