I don't believe it's possible to scientifically test the supernatural aspect of ID. However, the idea of irreducible complexity in cells is used by ID theorists as scientific evidence in support of a designer. Therefore, while a designer cannot actually be detected scientifically, certain parts of the ID theory are directly related with science and can be scientifically tested.

Yes, I think there are scientific aspects that intelligent design theorists use to prove their point that can be scientifically tested. That does not mean that science can point to a designer. It just means that there are parts of the ID theory that are science-based and not directly related to the supernatural, although ID theorists will infer this.
