...Opponents maintain that proving intelligent causes or agents is not science ...

It might not be science but it sure is mathematics.

The odds of human DNA evolving naturally into it's current form is billions to one.

DNA is a program. And if there is a program, then there has to be a programmer.

There doesn’t have to be a programmer. The arrangement of atoms into molecules that happens to make copies of itself becomes more common. Then, the arrangement that makes copies of itself better, becomes more common. Then, the arrangement that makes copies of itself together with a protective cover, so it doesn’t get eaten by other copying arrangements, becomes more common. And so it goes. No need for any intelligent intervention once you’ve got a reality with the right kind of physical laws. No mean feat that, and you could argue intelligent design. But none of the rest of it required any further intervention. Looked at honestly, it takes more intelligence to make a system that works on its own for billions of years and produces everything from stars to starfish, than to have to constantly go back in and put the thing back on course.

Good enough to satisfy most scientists.

With the inefficient and dead code inherent in DNA, God must be a hacker.
