Mini,

“I (an intelligent being, I hope ) can design a random or chaotic number sequence that could indicate nothing about the designer nor demonstrate anything in the way of design.”

Just because it is possible for an intelligent person to produce something like a pseudo-random number generator that does not appear to contain any information about the designer is no reason to discount ID. Physical evidence in the universe that cannot be accounted for by random initial conditions and processes is a SUFFICIENT BUT NOT NECESSARY proof of the existence of an intelligent designer. While it is theoretically possible for an intelligent designer to create a universe that looks random and disordered, that does not appear to be the case with our universe and hence is completely irrelevant.
