science deals with real world events and object, an "inteligent designer" is no real world entity, it is a supernatural entity. Thus ID is no scientific theory.

For further reading i suggest: Philosophy_of_science

Additionally science works with the principle of falsification. ID dodges falsification since it attributes every exceptions to some obscure "designer" (who is not inteligent at all, 'cause his creations contain a lot of flaws....who created the designer anyway?)

ID is no science, it is just an excuse for those who are too lazy to think
