Neither is evolution. Evolutionary theory is the well-supported explanation for the diversity of life. It's not an idea either. Nice strawman you just concocted there. "As for the remainder of your screed, science has not demonstrated that intelligent design is unnatural (or supernatural). What is unnatural or unscientific about organized matter performing specific functions, which precisely defines the products of intelligent design?" It means non-natural when the proponents of ID claim and purport that non-natural intelligent agencies were behind it. The ID community has long admitted that ID is non-natural. There's nothing for science to demonstrate since the non-natural is not testable. Why do you think ID-proponents are pathetically attacking methodological naturalism?

Wow. They must be a powerful bunch. But don't worry. Remember, words and ideas don't have consequences, and have no effect upon science or its implications.

Meanwhile, would you please explain to me what is unscientific about intelligent design? Try not to use any words or information lest you make yourself a case in point.
