Intelligent design does not deny evolution, it says that it couldn't happen by random mutation and natural selection alone. Hence there had to be something else altering and accelerating the process by guiding the mutations toward the complexity of the present. That something would be need to be able to alter natural processes, so it would have to be "super-natural." That is why main stream science is so resistant to it.
That's what I'm saying: intelligent design doesn't solve the complexity problem, it just shifts the complexity from evolution to a "designer" without ever explaining what designed the designer. Intelligent design itself precludes the "God has always existed" because intelligent design tells us that complex mechanisms cannot spontaneously arise.
