The universe is replete with organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws.

Your proposed hypothesis was not a case for ID, it was an observation of the obvious status quo. Restate the hypothesis to support a tenet of ID, and propose a test.

From both an inductive and deductive standpoint, the theory of intelligent design makes sense.

You're talking logic and philosophy, but the subject is science.

And if you live under the illusion that science, in order to be science, must omit any notion of God or the supernatural

We are talking about the natural sciences. You know, as opposed to supernatural (ID). That pretty much frames the debate from the beginning. Or do you think they should be mixed? Do you think we should teach natural selection in church? Of course not, you only want your beliefs taught in schools as science, no reciprocity.

Your proposed hypothesis was not a case for ID . . .

No. I said, and have been saying, that intelligent design is a respectable theory. I've not introduced the word "hypothesis" except in response to others who have introduced it.

Someone asked what ID as a theory predicts, and I said, "That organized matter behaving according to predicatable laws will be found."
