Intelligent Design, as a scientific theory, incontrovertibly explains Artificial Intelligence, GM crops, genetically modified animals (e.g. laboratory pigs that produce human hormones), computer viri, and self-replicating machines.

Please see RWP's excellent summation of the distinction between 'micro-ID' and 'macro-ID':

Fallacy of equivocation. There are two common uses of intelligent design
1. Intelligent design of human acts, as in the intelligent design of buildings, computer code, pharmaceutical agents, etc., by contemporary humans

2. 'Intelligent design' as the proposition that life or some part of it originated as the implemented design of some unspecified, non-human intelligent agent, many millions of years ago.
The two bear no relation, except in the phrase used to describe them, and therefore demonstration of one does not in any way demonstrate the other.

"The two bear no relation"

On what evidence do you base that claim?
