You are omitting something very crucial: people reject ID as a scientific theory. ID may very well be the origin of life. It is, however, fundamentally unscientific. OK, for giggles let's go with ID is THE mechanism for the OOL.
We'll also go with your statement that ID is fundamentally unscientific.
So, in effect, we have placed limits on the search for knowledge.
Our problem is that given the proposition that ID is THE mechanism for the OOL, we have placed the truth off limits to science.
You see a problem there?

You see a problem there? No, I do not. Because human science will never, ever, be able to grasp, much less measure or predict, God. Do you see a problem?
