There are many. But only two that get any play. Again, contemplate that you are in "The Matrix." Silly, but there you go with option 3.
> But neither one is "unscientific"
Incorrect. The assumption of the supernatural is inheirantly unscientific.
1. This is about conclusions, not assumptions.
2. "Supernatural" is your word. All that's required by ID is intelligence.
3. Even if your use of the word supernatural is appropriate, it would be just as unscientific to conclude that there were no supernatural causes of the origin of species as it would be to conclude that there were.
