If in fact design was intelligent, knowing that will save a lot of time and effort in research, by not wasting time trying to shoehorn observations into an incorrect hypothesis that there must be some natural process that led to the design.

” If in fact design was intelligent, knowing that will save a lot of time and effort in research, by not wasting time trying to shoehorn observations into an incorrect hypothesis that there must be some natural process that led to the design.”

That’s the closest thing to a good explanation I’ve heard. Maybe some ID proponents could form a genetic research institution or two and staff it with those who don’t believe in evolution to see how their productivity compares.
