Question: "Social Text" was probably an attempt to criticize people who believe that scientific theories are what?

<P0-S0> The science wars were a series of intellectual exchanges, between scientific realists and postmodernist critics, about the nature of scientific theory and intellectual inquiry. <P0-S1>  They took place principally in the United States in the 1990s in the academic and mainstream press. <P0-S2>  Scientific realists (such as Norman Levitt, Paul R. Gross, Jean Bricmont and Alan Sokal) argued that scientific knowledge is real, and accused the postmodernists of having effectively rejected scientific objectivity, the scientific method, Empiricism, and scientific knowledge. <P0-S3>  Postmodernists interpreted Thomas Kuhn's ideas about scientific paradigms to mean that scientific theories are social constructs, and philosophers like Paul Feyerabend argued that other, non-realist forms of knowledge production were better suited to serve people's personal and spiritual needs. <SEP> <P1-S0> There have been various debates concerning the proper family of biblical manuscripts and translation techniques that should be used to translate the Bible into other languages. <P1-S1>  Biblical translation has been employed since the first translations were made from the Hebrew Bible (Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic) into Greek (see Septuagint) and Aramaic (see Targum). <P1-S2>  Until the late Middle Ages, the Western Church used the Latin Vulgate almost entirely while the Eastern Church, centered in Constantinople, mostly used the Greek Byzantine text. <P1-S3>  Beginning with the 14th century, there have been increasing numbers of vernacular translations into various languages. <P1-S4>  With the development of modern printing techniques, these increased enormously. <P1-S5>  The English King James Version or "Authorized Version", published in 1611, has been one of the most debated English versions. <P1-S6>  Many supporters of the King James Version are disappointed with the departure from this translation to newer translations that use the Critical Text instead of the Byzantine text as the base text. <P1-S7>  There have also been debates regarding the benefits of formal translations over dynamic equivalence translations. <P1-S8>  Supporters of formal translation such as the King James Version criticize translations that use dynamic equivalence because the accuracy is compromised because this technique tends to reword the meaning of the text instead of translating it accurately in a word for word fashion. <P1-S9>  Additionally, these supporters are critical of translations using the critical text because they believe that biblical text has been deliberately deleted from the original autographs. <P1-S10>  Debates of this type involve theological concepts as well as translation techniques which are outlined in the process of textual criticism. <SEP> <P2-S0> Alan David Sokal ( ; born January 24, 1955) is a professor of mathematics at University College London and professor of physics at New York University. <P2-S1>  He works in statistical mechanics and combinatorics. <P2-S2>  He is best known to the wider public for his criticism of postmodernism, after the Sokal affair in 1996 when his deliberately nonsensical paper was published by Duke University's "Social Text". <P2-S3>  He also works to counter faulty scientific reasoning, as seen with his involvement in criticising the critical positivity ratio concept in positive psychology. <SEP> <P3-S0> Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a 2008 documentary film directed by Nathan Frankowski and starring Ben Stein. <P3-S1>  The film contends that the mainstream science establishment suppresses academics who believe they see evidence of intelligent design (ID) in nature and who criticize evidence supporting Darwinian evolution and the modern evolutionary synthesis as part of a "scientific conspiracy to keep God out of the nation's laboratories and classrooms." <P3-S2>  The scientific theory of evolution is portrayed by the film as contributing to communism, fascism, atheism, eugenics and, in particular, Nazi atrocities in the Holocaust. <P3-S3>  The film portrays intelligent design as motivated by science, rather than religion, though it does not give a detailed definition of the phrase or attempt to explain it on a scientific level. <P3-S4>  Other than briefly addressing issues of irreducible complexity, "Expelled" examines it as a political issue.
