Many artifacts are certainly designed, but that doesn't imply "there's no reason to study anything." Similarly, if ID were true in biology (e.g. origin of life) the "there's no reason to study anything" wouldn't hold true either. The best way to falsify ID theory is to demonstrate (or argue) that natural processes can do the job and thus a designer isn't needed.

The problem with creationism is that it's not science. If we reject mountains of evidence in favor of a scientific construct, then what's next? Reverting back to geocentrism?
