Intelligent design does not have to equal God, which is why I find it so funny that all these Atheist scientists won't consider it. Intelligent design simply means something planned the building blocks of life. Could be wizards, computers, protohumans, mother nature, Zeus.
Because they know that just kicks the can down the road. Who created the wizards or Zeus? You inevitably wind up at an intellectual agent who wasn't created; who just is.
I've read a ton on this and watched as many debates as I could find, and 99% of the time it becomes a philosophical issue, not a scientific issue. You're either willing to consider a creative agent or you're not. If you're not, especially when it comes to abiogenesis, you just hand-wave and say "billions of years" and there is no evidence that will put a dent in that.

I generally agree with you here.
On the flip side, one needs to resort to special pleading when asked the question, "If everything needs a creator, what created it?" We then get, "Nothing, the creator always was," which is just a differing form of hand waving.
Alrgihty...back to mowing the lawn.
