So why is so hard to state that this is also a masterpiece, created by someone?

Because that's a limit on your imagination. Saying that "duh, I don't know how this got here, I guess somebody made this" is an easy explanation for something that is much grander and more powerful in and of itself. Feel free to believe what you believe but there's nothing "to be taught" here which is why there's so much backlash against teaching ID in schools. There's nothing TO BE TAUGHT. There's only one level - "somebody made this" and that's it. Science on the other hand posits that the universe is much more intricate, multi-dimensional, self-propagating and that these processes might be understood or even controlled over time.
Van Gogh made that painting but you can try to understand how Van Gogh did it, the proceses he used, you can try to understand his state of mind, his motivations, his painting techniques. There's no point to teaching ID because there is nothing behind it to teach. There is is nothing to be learned, nothing to be studied. It's simply stated as a fact and the very theology it is based upon says that it cannot be understood...so why must it be taught in schools? I really don't understand this point.
