If you can't test something, how do you expect to convince somebody it's correct?

Some things are self-evident. Intelligent design happens to be one of them. Those who believe it do not need to be convinced they are right. If you can produce an example of unorganized matter that does not behave according to predictable laws, then you will be well on your way to establishing a reason to discard intelligent design as a self-evident, objective reality.

"Some things are self-evident. Intelligent design happens to be one of them."

To you. Now, you have to find objective evidence to convince someone else it's true too.

"Those who believe it do not need to be convinced they are right."

Yes, it's a subjective emotional response.

"If you can produce an example of unorganized matter that does not behave according to predictable laws, then you will be well on your way to establishing a reason to discard intelligent design as a self-evident, objective reality."

You have already said that a designer could also make unorganized matter that does not behave according to predictable laws, so finding it would not rule out a designer. There is no test for one.
