. . . so finding it would not rule out a designer.True. It would only lessen the likelihood of intelligent design as an accurate, objective way of viewing the universe. Finding a dinosaur in a Brazilian rain forest would not rule out evolution either, but would only lessen the likelihood of certain features of the theory.

"True. It would only lessen the likelihood of intelligent design as an accurate, objective way of viewing the universe."
Intelligent design is not a way of looking at the universe. It is a claim. Science is a way of looking at the universe.
Finding unorganized matter would in no lessen the likelyhood of ID, because the designer can do anything and everything.
"Finding a dinosaur in a Brazilian rain forest would not rule out evolution either, but would only lessen the likelihood of certain features of the theory."
Actually, it would only have a very minor affect on it, if any. Finding a human in the Jurassic would be devastating evidence against evolution.
