Wrong. He would say a being that possessed intelligence built it, not necessarily God...

Space aliens? That is what ID is all about, right?

lol, well if there were enough evidence...

The point is that ID theorists recognize intelligence in other animals, especially human beings. Every "unnatural" thing that possesses attributes of design are rightly deduced as products of intelligent beings, and the depth in complexity is consistent with the depth of intelligence (i.e. stone "hammers" made by monkeys and super-computers made by humans). "Nature," even though I'm not quite sure what that is exactly but I'll use it for all intents and purposes, exhibits the very same characteristics of design. So, upon examining the whole of "nature's" existence through science, we discover that the whole of the cosmos indeed has a beginning and thus, as the universe itself appears created, as many tools created by animals are, and exhibits characteristics of intelligence in its design, there must therefore be existent a Creator outside of the whole of the cosmos responsible for "nature's" existence.

Its not quite as ludicrous as the straw men set up for it commonly is.
