Intelligence **can** create any number of things.

For example, it can create a very passable random number series that appears to be a gaussian distribution.

Nobody would claim that all normal distributions are intelligently designed, though, would they?

They don't have to make such a claim, as that's not the point.

That *any* distributions are intelligently designed means that you can't rule out ID as a potential cause for their origin.

You can't honestly claim that ID is "unscientific."

You can't honestly claim that ID is "untestable."

You can't honestly claim that ID is "unfalsifiable."

...not when ID is shown to be responsible for *some* instances.

How is that "known"?
