Because, If Intelligent Design is a valid alternative to the Theory of Evolution, then who on earth is this Intelligent Designer?

Who indeed? And how do you prove it is who you say it is?

That's not provable anymore than evolution is provable. They both fail the test of falsifiability. Karl Popper said the key to science is being able to determine if theoretical assumptions are wrong so you can see if they are correct. Neither evolution or intelligent design meet that definition of science. It begs the question of why evolution is true but intelligent design isn't. Neither excludes the other and they are both keys to understanding different aspects of the issue of life on earth.
