ID is based on a logical fallacy.
Intelligent Design or Irreducible Complexity is essentially an argument from incredulity. That is, I don't understand it - therefore my much "simpler explanation" must be true.

More traditionally ID, IC and their ilk is a form of "God of the Gaps." If you can't explain it, some supreme being must have done it.

Both "Argument from Incredulity" and "God of the Gaps" are intellectually lazy arguments.
