I agree with your post except for this part. Although it's been discussed ad nauseum on this board, intelligent design is not a science. It's been given it's chance and it's produced nothing in the way of science. Intelligent design has nothing to research. It makes no predictions, has nothing to test, and is not falsifiable. It is religion.
