Why not?

Because science is a method and the only thing you are presenting for intelligent design is "I believe god is the designer".

Because it is intelligent design, whereby people are attempting to mold science to their preconceived notions. That is not how science works.

Just because we don't know the mechanism of how it was designed (if we suppose it was) doesn't mean it doesn't have a rational explanation. I believe God is the designer. I also believe that God is understandable (or at least will be).

LOL, I just love how willing you are to non-sequitor your magic god with actual science when you think it may work! You know as well as any of us what would happen to your god if it ever happened that it was not only discovered to be real in some form, but understood thoroughly as is electricity. That's why your non-so-intelligent design theory requires a god idea, one which is to be forever mysterious, never to be understood by anyone. As NDT said, it's the philosophy of ignorance alright!

It's not ignorance. It isn't "we can't explain it, so God" It is "we know of only one cause that is capable of explaining the specified sequences and other features of life and the universe, and that cause is intelligence." You are relying on faith to think that another cause will arise.

That's hardly the only thing I am presenting for intelligent design. So science must not be associated with God?

Not until you can adequately describe and present proof of god.

No, really you presented nothing except you believe life is designed and god is the designer, Oh and you think life looks like a digital code. Where is the science?

And evolutionists don't do this? The theory has failed prediction after failed prediction, yet they will always mold the theory in distorted ways to try to account for the evidence. And intelligent design puts evidence first and conclusions after. Everyone has preconceived ideas about the world. Every single person. Even the scientists. It is science. You ought to read Signature in the Cell if you want to see why intelligent design is based on scientific grounds.

Moving on to the next page in the liars for christ handbook huh?  You've failed to astonish us with your brilliance and have now devolved into a "you too" mud slinging match.   Remind me why I need another explanation again...faith be damned, what with already having an explanation in evolution and physics? There isn't even a gap here to cram your god into..in the first place.

Give it up.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No, which clearly shows how little you know of science and evolution.

We 3D creatures can be outside of a 2D spacial realm. In a similar way, something could conceivably be outside of the temporal realm also. Not a great answer, but I don't see why it couldn't.

Spatial, actually, not spacial; but never mind. That's not the main point I want to get at. Can this "something" affect anything within the temporal realm, however minor?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
