What if they got their proof?

So imagine somehow that ID got proof, beyond any doubt, that an organism was designed. They came up with a perfect definition of what to look for in a designed organism, and found it in something.

What would happen then?

So what? It was designed, great. Who designed it? You'd have all the religions claiming it was their god who created/designed it. You'd have the UFO conspirators claim advanced races of aliens designed them and us and everything else and that we should hail our alien designers and overlords. There'd probably even be a war or something (although maybe I'm going a little over the top there).


You might even get a new type of religion or pseudo-science along the lines of 'God must have been intelligently designed--hail God's God'.

And from all this, what would science do? Probably just have lots of debate, undergo a paradigm shift, and start looking for those traits in other organisms and look at the world with new knowledge.
