Logic, science, and mathematics are all part of the design inference. But sometimes you don't need a rigorous logical, scientific, or mathematical demonstration to reveal evidence of design in nature. Consider this 2008 TED talk which we were recently sent. It's by David Gallo of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution showing the stunning abilities of cephalopods to change their colors and essentially perfectly blend into their surroundings:
I'm sure that a rigorous investigation of the mechanisms behind the color-changing abilities of cephalopods would reveal a powerful case for intelligent design. But this video alone seems to be more than enough.

An arc of galaxies 3 billion light-years long may challenge cosmological theories
A giant arc of galaxies appears to stretch across more than 3 billion light-years in the distant universe. If the arc turns out to be real, it would challenge a bedrock assumption of cosmology:...wonder how many advanced intelligences are standing right beside us, that we can not see, as we read sott, looking at us up close, hopefully benevolent just as the human diver was studying the cephalopod ...?
hmmm
