The proponents of intelligent design do not deny that evolution exists. They claim that evolution cannot account for certain aspects of life as we know it such as the initial creation of life or the development of certain complicated attributes of life such as eyes, because gradual development of these attributes would not be advantageous to survival. They conclude, therefore, that only intelligent design can account for these attributes.

Instead of saying we don't know how these things happened, they assert that our collective ignorance is evidence of God's existance. Religion has always been used to explain that which we cannot account for by scienctific knowledge. In fact, that might be a good definition of religion.
