Intelligent Design seems to be shorthand for "I can't figure out how this
works;  God musta done it."
Newton used a similar concept to account for variations in planetary orbits
that didn't fit his gravitational theory completly.  Others later with better 
instruments and a more complete theory were able to take that mystery out of
the theory of gravitation.  The history of science is replete with similar
examples.
