Is there any scientific or mathematical way to prove that something was designed, as opposed to just coming about by chance?

Abrupt departures from the phylogenetic framework would provide ample scientific evidence of intelligent design were they discernable. As it is, everything fits quite neatly and orderly within the evolutionary progression that has been well-established for some while.
Leaving that aside, trivial modifications of inconsequential deviation from the dynamics of natural selection would not be provable. In that instance, I have no problem with ID theologians painting themselves into the corner of having to prove a negative.. =)

Probably not.
But plain ol' common sense ought to have SOME value..........
