I love science and have a fairly analytical mind. That being said, I understand that science is limited to the "how"s of the world, it can never explain the "why"s. If you want to know the answer to "why", that answer is found in the seeking of God.
As far as the validity of Intelligent Design, or Creationist theories (and they are different things), it is hard for the scientific community to honestly say they are bunk when to even bring up those questions or seek to study the science of them gets you thrown out of Academia. The Ben Stein documentary "Expelled" shows what happens to those who ask those questions. Much like global warming or "climate change" as it is now called, if you don't tow the party line you get tossed out on your ear and blackballed by the greater academic community.
