Actually the author of the statement doesn't really understand ID either, amazingly.
ID is basically a religious bastardization of evolution, not merely a theory of creation.
Not really. To say that the complexity of the cell, or the complexity of information transfer in biological processes point not to some blind mechanism as Darwin suggests, but points to an intelligent designer, doesn't necessarily imply that that designer flung a single-cell into some slimepit eons ago, and that cell differentiated and ultimately became man. I can buy into the case made by intelligent design proponents, but from what I've read of ID, that doesn't compel me to say my ancestors rose up from the slimepit after God got the ball rolling. ID proponents accept the concept of micro evolution, but it doesn't necessarily become a rationale for macro evolution by another name.
It is neither.
