Your definition of "Intelligent Design" . . .

I have not provided a definition, per se. I have only said that intelligent design may be reasonably inferred in those cases where organized matter performs specific functions.

You have yet to demonstrate that your claims are scientific.

There are numerous examples in objective reality where matter has been purposefully organized by an intelligent being so that it performs a specific function. I have yet to see a "scientific" example demonstrating an entity by the name of "nature" (or any other name) that has done such things. So . . . my claim is essentially more scientific than yours, which remains either unexpressed or unsupportable scientifically.

This does not logically imply that all matter is intelligently designed. You have provided no reason to suggest such a conclusion.

I have made no such claim, thus your counterexample is not relevant. Moreover, I have explained that I have not made this claim in the past. Why you imply a claim that you should know to be false is a mystery to me.
