True, Intelligent Design isn't science, it's a belief which, to many, explains the origin of life much better than random mutations over billions of years, etc. But then again, neither is the evolutionary origin theory strictly science. The best that true science can do is show that intelligent life CAN come from non-life, not that it actually DID (quite a different proposition altogether, since the latter is not repeatable for present-day microscopes).
Remember that that scientists don't dictate the laws of physics for all time; but rather they can simply observe them. And also, they can't observe whether they are constant for all time, just that they appear to behave the same way here. And these are fundamental premises for the evolutionary-origin advocate.
And your comments about "researchers in an unrelated field spouting off about how evolution is false" is simply the pot calling the kettle black.

My God rose again. Your god is vanity, and your own god's hammer is gonna smush you in the end.
However, your comment about pub ed is quite right -- it has done its job remarkably well, convincing the world that science can discover everything that has occurred in the past, by simply observing the present (e.g. evolutionary origins of life). Trust and parrot, that's the ticket.
