Because it is the nature of intelligent design to organize matter in such a way as to be intelligible, consistent, and functional, just they way the physical universe in my neighborhood happens to be.

You have yet to explain why a different cause is less likely. As such, your claims are baseless conjecture.

I am attempting to argue that because a process "may" have occurred it is reasonable to believe that it may have occurred.

I have never denied that "intelligent design" may have occured. I have only stated that you have offered no logical reason to conclude that it is the most probable occurance, nor have you even offered an actual mechanism.

On the contrary, the likelihood is found in the ubiquitous presence of organized matter that performs specific functions. The essence of intelligent design (creating and arranging matter), the manner in which it becomes manifest (organized matter performing specific functions), and the intelligible nature of the physical universe all make the theory of intelligent design a reasonable one. If you want to argue that the above is unreasonable, or unscientific, then you'll have to provide positive evidence to support your negative argument.
