Intelligent Design: Did you design yourself?

[pocaracas]

Is intelligent design a scientific theory?Yes.

The scientific method is commonly described as a four-step process involving observations, hypothesis, experiments, and conclusion. Intelligent design begins with the observation that intelligent agents produce complex and specified information (CSI). Design theorists hypothesize that if a natural object was designed, it will contain high levels of CSI. Scientists then perform experimental tests upon natural objects to determine if they contain complex and specified information. One easily testable form of CSI is irreducible complexity, which can be discovered by experimentally reverse-engineering biological structures to see if they require all of their parts to function.

When ID researchers find irreducible complexity in biology, they conclude that such structures were designed.

Have these "ID researchers" ever tried to look out of their own backyards?

Galileo Had to peer through a telescope to find evidence that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
Darwin had to travel to the Galapagos where he found evidence that animals evolve.

Complexity does not equal design.
If anything, design usually comes with simplicity. It only becomes complex after several attempts and lots of tinkering with the original simple design. But this is not what you're advocating... is it?
