Is intelligent design useful for science? Certainly, thinking in terms of a designed system instead of a haphazard one leads one to look for purposes, examine possibilities for reverse engineering and expect additional engineering or programming to show up. It's the difference in thinking most DNA is likely to be junk, rather than expecting little or no junk. One might expect to find, under a design paradigm, stored up and potentially useful DNA sequences along with a mechanism for finding and activating them under certain conditions. There are all sorts of ways that the design perspective can provide scientific ideas not expected with the Darwinian mindset. Modern biochemists employ design principles (like reverse engineering and decoding techniques) even if they don't admit they are doing so.
