It's called inductive reasoning. It happens to be convincing to most reasonable people. Like, where there is design there is quite likely a designer. It is your own emotional, pre-conceived notion that leads you to conclude intelligent design is an unscientific concept.

I'm familiar with inductive reasoning. It isn't physical evidence, though. It's an inference, and an emotional one at that.
Words mean things. You are trying to re-define science the way that creationists try to redefine "theory" to suit their agenda.
Why do you suppose no legitimate scientific organization (that is to say, one that has a purpose other than promoting ID) recognizes ID as science? Some global conspiracy stretching back centuries? I'd really like to know.
