Can you point to anything in physics, biology, astronomy, geology, or chemistry that isn't the result of assuming that phenomena are regular?

Big Bang, Anthropic Principle, the first organism and DNA, consciousness from mindlessness…

I didn't express myself clearly. I meant can you point to any important discoveries in physics, biology, astronomy, geology, or chemistry that isn't the result of assuming that phenomena are regular?

The Big Bang theory is absolutely the result of following natural phenomena to their conclusion. The theory has nothing to say about the earliest moments.

The anthropic principle is not a scientific theory, nor does it explain anything. Why are your legs exactly long enough to reach the ground?

Science has not explained first life, nor consciousness.

Now tell me what ID is contributing to science. What discoveries or useful products are the result of assuming that living things are designed? What data does ID have that isn't the product of mainstream research?

You missed the big picture. Again, ID has been part of science as a given – it is only in recent scientific history that it has been excluded (and without sufficient cause IMHO) Biology currently looks at organisms as designed and this is productive.
