A Scientific theory must be testable, It must also make predictions that are accurate. Intelligent design fails on both counts so is not considered science amoungst the mainstream scientific community. It is more like religon than science.

∙ 9y ago"Intelligent Design" is largely theology dressed up to look like science. Creationists had been unable to get Creationism taught in United States schools, so the term "Creation Science" was coined, and the creationists went back to the courts to have Creation Science taught as science. The courts maintained that a mere change of name did not make it any different from Creationism, which is religion, not science. The term "Intelligent Design" was expected to resolve that obstacle, especially as its advocates insisted that they were neutral as to who the "Intelligent Designer" was.
A great deal of pseudo-science has been put forward in an attempt to dress up the new topic as science. Intelligent Design is naturally opposed to the Theory of Evolution and its advocates have proposed many important "scientific breakthroughs" to prove their case - including an alleged Fourth Law of Thermodynamics and an opposing claim that evolution contradicts the Second Law of Thermodynamics. None of this has been accepted by the scientific community.

Can intelligent design be considered as a religion?
A:When Intelligent Design was proposed for inclusion in the school syllabus as an alternative hypothesis to science, the United States Supreme Court considered the matter and decided that Intelligent Design is indeed a tenet of religion.
What does the church think about intelligent design?
The Catholic Church has repeatedly criticized Intelligent Design, saying it is not science. In fact, the Vatican newspaper has published an article saying "intelligent design" is not science and that teaching it alongside evolutionary theory in school classrooms only creates confusion. The Church also believes the Intelligent Design is built off of faulty premises and often deny the accuracy of Darwin-esque beliefs.
In what year was intelligent design thought of?
Barbara Forrest describes the intelligent design movement as beginning in 1984 when Jon A. Buell's religious organisation the Foundation for Thought and Ethics published The Mystery of Life's Origin by creationist and chemist Charles Thaxton. The idea for intelligent design came about because the United States courts rejected the teaching of creationism, and then 'creation science', as science in the school syllabus. The proponents of intelligent design hoped that the courts would accept intelligent design as a suitable topic for a science course, taught alongside, or instead of, evolution.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

Which Public schools teach intelligent design?
Public schools in the United States are not permitted to teach intelligent design as a scientific theory in science classes due to the separation of church and state outlined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Teaching intelligent design as part of a science curriculum has been legally challenged in several court cases, with rulings consistently upholding the separation of church and state. Some private or religious schools may include intelligent design in their curriculum.
Why do Darwin and evolution weaken the design argument?
Strictly speaking, this question is in the wrong order, because Charles Darwin and evolution pre-dated the intelligent design argument.At the time of Charles Darwin, in the nineteenth century, most people in Europe and the Americas believed that God created all living things just as we see them now. Thus, there was no reason for the intelligent design argument, which holds that if evolution occurred then it must have been guided by an unseen deity.Intelligent design is in part a political phenomenon, created in the United States because the Courts rejected the teaching of creationism, and then 'creation science', as science in the school syllabus. The proponents of intelligent design believed that, by separating claims for the existence of God from their hypothesis about design of living organisms, the courts would accept intelligent design as a suitable topic for a science course, taught alongside, or instead of, evolution. However, this was as weak an argument as those previously submitted for creationism and creation science, and intelligent design continues to be regarded as a religious argument, not a scientific one.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What is the difference between a creationist and an Intelligent Design proponent?
Intelligent Design proponents are creationists, but not all creationists are Intelligent Design proponents. Proponents of Intelligent Design insist that it is not Creationism because it is not a specifically religious hypothesis. They hoped to convince the United States Supreme Court that their hypothesis is not based on religious beliefs and should be treated in law in the same way as is science. However, evidence presented to the Supreme Court showed that Intelligent Design is Creationism under another name, and that its proponents had always intended it to be so.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Why does intelligent design seem appealing if not convincing to some people?
Intelligent design's popularity is derived from it's apparent ability for people to reconcile science with their inherent religious beliefs. People would much rather choose to still believe in their God and use intelligent design to explain nature (no mater how flawed, and unscientific it is) rather than actually understand the truth of evolution.
