"On the contrary, it is you who maintains the known universe cannot be explained in terms of intelligent design and yet remain "scientific."
That's not the argument from incredulity, which you have explicitly accepted as valid. I said that all such claims are outside of science. They are.
" Do you really think intelligence is beyond the realm of scientific inquiry? "
You are switching the argument. We are talking about the existence of God, not intelligence.
Now, are you going to enlighten us with YOUR definition of what design is? If you can't even define it, how can you detect it from an entity whose motives and capabilities are inscrutable?
"Your view of science is both warped and truncated."
You're view is mystical and subjective and includes anything and everything into science, including your feelings, hallucinations, feverish delusions, and logical fallacies. I'll stick with my view, which is what has been accepted and used in science for centuries now.
"As I said, must be awfully dsutned in that sbrtl;ijbELE."
Time to put down that drink and answer my question about the definition of design which I have asked you over and over. I'll have to assume you have none if you refuse again.

The dictionary definition of design suits me fine. No need for science to give it a special meaning of its own.
