What is Meant by Intelligent Design?

"ID is not a deduction, and ID does not claim that design can be “proven.” Rather, the theory of intelligent design recognizes evidence in nature that is best explained by an intelligent cause rather than undirected causes (like natural selection). It’s an historical scientific inference to the best explanation based upon finding in nature the kind of information and complexity that in our experience comes from intelligence."
