The Historical Jesus is real and He rose from the grave

A very small number of them, and all of them for ideological reasons, not scientific ones. See, that's the dirty little secret of intelligent design; it doesn't feel the need to act like science at all, it just wants to be treated with all the credibility of it.

Most science begins with an observation, and then tests to determine more about it, but intelligent design starts with its conclusion and then skips over the testing phase entirely in favor of just finding holes to poke in real science, as if gaps in genuine knowledge makes its nonsense viable by default. There's not a single experiment that has ever been done to verify intelligent design, not a single argument put forth for it that isn't just an attack on evolution, or an argument from ignorance, not even a method of falsification, which is a cornerstone of all science.

When you say there are scientists who embrace intelligent design, all you're saying is that there are scientists who have abandoned their scientific ethics and principles to cling to old stories that feel good, while simultaneously attempting to slop on a veneer of respectability to those same stories. That's not surprising, but you still need to ask yourself why the vast majority of scientists, some of them christian too, accept evolution as true. Why does everyone who knows better than you, disagree with you?
