It's not a theory until you put som meat on it. Theories describe the attributes of causative agents. Theories describe the behavior of causes. Come back when you have a theory.
This is such an elementary requirement that I would be willing to have ID mentioned in science classes just for the joy of ridiculing it.
ID does posit an attribute of the causative agent: It says it's intelligent. It can't go into detail further, because it doesn't have enough data to go on, but since when has that ever disqulified a scientific theory? First you establish something general, and then try, if possible, to get more specific.

That would actually be a good start.
