The biblical creationist starts with the Genesis account. The Intelligent Design scientist starts with an observation from nature.

The biblical creationist starts out assuming that the Genesis account is literally true.

The Intelligent Design scientist starts out assuming that the Genesis account is basically correct, albeit way too specific in its details to pass the Lemon Test.

To anser your question on the same plane:
The ability of science to explain any and everything is what a materialist believes. That has no ability to be proven from science either. It is a pact among equals to say it is so, not science.

From where I sit, the honest observation from nature can only lead one to one conclusion: that all intelligence comes from intelligence, inorganic never births organic, never has never will.

The speculation that it happened once upon a time was called spontaneous generation and mocked. Now it is believed as a scientific explanation? I personally don't think so.

Every experiment to prove spontaneous generation is initiated by a scientist yielding the very model of intelligent design.

Well is that what an ID scientist would say about himself?
If not, it is possible that you have created a straw man.

I personally don't believe that the ID starting point and Genesis are related in any way.
