While the major proponents of ID tend to suggest it in terms of biology their arguments apply equally well in any case where the objects of science are intelligible; where organized matter performs specific functions.
Your statement is not accurate. The arguments used for Intelligent Design in a biological context state the existence of specific biological mechanisms that proponents claim could not have come about through natural selection. Because natural selection does not universally apply to matter in general, however, a paralell argument cannot be drawn to "organized matter performing specific functions". As such, you will need to construct a different basis for what you call "Intelligent Design" than what proponents of the "Intelligent Design" of biology use.

Because natural selection does not universally apply to matter in general . . . Natural selection does not have to apply universally in order for a parallel to be drawn. The theory of intelligent design applies to all intelligible phenomenon including natural selection.
