It seems both sides are arguing with more rhetoric than fact. Intelligent design and evolution (via random mutation and natural selection) are both theories. Both are "testable" only to limited degrees. Intelligent design doesn't exclude naturalistic causes (first cause may have been the only "divine intervention") and ID theorists are not necessarily traditional creationists. "The earth brought forth.." Genesis 1:12 sounds more like naturalistic causes than divine intervention in that specific scenario. If/when it is discovered that life/complexity came about through naturalistic causes (excluding first cause) other than random mutation and natural selection, both sides will claim they won. www.iscid.org has the best scientific and most objective discussion from both sides
