Sorry McGrath but I've got gigs to practice for so I can't spend much time on this. The Higgs Boson was predicted by existing theories. Searching for it was a test of those theories. The existence of an intelligent designer is wishful thinking. In terms of analysis, ID falls at the first fence. It is nor testable; it is not falsifiable.

Have a read of this -

I particularly like "argument from incredulity". I can't explain this so it must be God what did it.

It is pseudoscience and should not be given credibility by critical analysis.
