Science can't be "behind" anything, it's just a way of looking at the world -- scientific research can be done badly, or fraudulently, or stupidly at times but it can show fascinating and true information about the world as well. Science is a method, not a belief system.

The intention manifestation idea has long been around in science, in various guises, even before the current mass media focus on these "secret" ideas - one example is
"Self-fulfilling prophecy" - a key idea in psychology since (I think) the 1950s.
