This seems as much hypothesizing as that of ID advocates. So, what's the issue here?
For the scientists, no issue. They make hypotheses, test them and proceed from the results.
For the IDers, the issue is that they declare reproduction to be irreducibly complex and therefore beyond access to scientific study.
For other Biblical literalists (not in the ID camp), the results of these studies seem to them to contravert their understanding of the current translations of the Bible, and rather than challenge their understanding, they try to challenge the science.
