Descriptions of nature are discriptions of direct observations.

Descriptions of organized matter performing specific functions are descriptions of direct observations. To infer intelligent design from these observations is no more, and no less, "scientific" than to infer some other cause or agent, including chance.

Science makes no such inferences. Science merely observes the patterns and describes them. It makes no statements regarding the fundamental reason that the patterns exist as they do. It claims "chance" as a cause no more than it claims "intelligent designer".
