There is nothing precluding natural selection from being compatible with 'Intelligent Design'. All Intelligent Design requires that at the ultimate end of the chain of events is set in motion by a higher power.

That's a complete misunderstanding of the ID position. Intelligent Design proponents don't just claim that a higher power set the universe in motion (a claim that some mainstream scientists might agree with), they claim that it had to intervene constantly during the evolutionary process, citing supposed phenomena such as irreducible complexity to make their point. The whole motivation of the ID movement is to deny that natural selection is a sufficient mechanism to explain the evolution of species on earth.
