"He wrote a book entitled The Privileged Planet which "showed" that there is evidence for design in the universe.

Again, there are no scientific data supporting such a notion.

That's because "design" is a concept ruled out, a priori by the "scientific" community. It's beyond the very narrow scope of what has become known as "science."

There is no scientific evidence that Michael Jordan was a very good basketball player, but that doesn't mean it isn't a serious and accurate statement.

What is the scientific data supporting the notion that your mother loved you? Nothing that would pass peer review in a scientific journal.

While there is an admission by scientists that there are many questions which are not suitable subject matter for science, e.g., supernatural phenomena, all ID has to do is generate hypotheses, test them and replicate. ID has failed to do so. If it is to be included in science, ID must follow the rules of science. So far it hasn't. Until then, there is nothing for the peers to review.
