A scientific case for intelligent design may be modeled as:

1. Observation:  ID begins with the observation that intelligent agents produce high levels of CSI (complex specified information).
2. Hypothesis:  Design predictions.
3. Experiment:  Do they contain CSI?
   • Irreducible complexity, knock out a part, does it still function?
   • Mutational sensitivity tests to determine how finely-tuned protein sequences and enzymes must be in order to perform their cellular functions.  (Doug Axe found that sequences yield functional protein folds may be as rare as 1 in 1077).
4. Conclusion:  Because X exhibits high levels of CSI, a quality is known to be a product of intelligence.  Life was designed.

There are a number of other testable scientific evidences that can be substituted into this method of reasoning:
