. . . 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.

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.
