Itsd also the case that, given their emphasis in complexity, ID should be leaning on statisticial models and information theory to construct its argument for a) design being detectable and b) design having been detected. But there does not appear to be any such investigation.
An ID theory, if validated, could still be used to support a non-theological cosmology. For example, there is the hypothesis that "we" are ourselves simulations that exist in a Matrix-like simulated reality created by our own machine-life heirs. Conceivably, intelligent design could tease out the fixed rules of the simulation, if they are there. This would allow for a designed experiential universe without god. But it is plain, by the very fact that this sort of angle is NOT being examined, that the point of ID is to support religion. It is not a genuine investigation of our world conducted honestly for the purpose of understanding it better.
