I have a great deal of discomfort with so-called Intelligent Design, considering it to be intellectually dishonest, a means of trying to insinuate religion into science, while denying that is what is being done. Such things as geology and Darwinian evolution–certainly at the micro-evolutionary level–are observable.
On the other hand, one thing that science profoundly struggles with is consciousness. The very fact that we ask the questions we do is deeply puzzling, and has not been answered from a purely physical point of view. This is one of the reasons I am a believer.
Here's an interview with Georgetown University theologian John Haught that I found fascinating, especially as he deals with subjects such as those I've mentioned.
