Both can be scientifically examined on the context in which they dwell.

How do you scientifically examine ID? If ID is a theory, you have to be able to test it. This article addresses that point, and basically says that you can't actually test ID, and therefore you can't "scientifically examine" it.

How does one test the Darwinian model? What is the null and what is the alternative? What evidence might cause one to reject the null?

O.K. let's turn it around: Can you scientifically examine the basic precepts of the theory of evolution (i.e., random mutation followed by natural selection)?

I have never seen a valid experiment that actually tests this. I have seen faked data that claimed to show this but it was later found out that the data was faked (i.e., pepper tree moth fraud).

This is probably one of the reasons that over 400 major league scientists have gone on record saying they seriously doubt that evolution adequately explains the origin of life/species.
