Good science is continually finding things it never knew existed, and it is continually modifying its assumptions.

I absolutely agree. And when science finds evidence of a heretofore unknown designer, it will modify it's assumptions. Not before.

What assumptions? Plus Darwininians won't allow the search for a designer as it is not falsifiable and therefore not science by their definition. You wouldn't believe in a designer even if the entire Bible were found to be coded in the DNA of the Amoeba.

It has found design in the Universe:

Imagine that you are a cosmic explorer who has just stumbled into the control room of the whole universe. There you discover an elaborate "universe-creating-machine", with rows and rows of dials, each with many possible settings. As you investigate, you learn that each dial represents some particular parameter that has to be calibrated with a precise value in order to create a universe in which life can exist. One dial represents the possible settings for the strong nuclear force, one for the gravitationl constant, one for Planck's constant, one for the ratio of the neutron mass to the proton mass, one for the strength of electromagnetic attraction, and so on. As you, the cosmic explorer, examine the dials, you find that they could easily have been tuned to different settings. Moreover, you determine by careful calculations that if any of the dial settings were even slightly altered, life would cease to exist. Yet for some reason each dial is set at just the exact value necessary to keep the universe running. What do you infer about the origin of these finely tuned dial settings?
From: Stephen C. Meyer, "Evidence for Design in Physics and Biology.
