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.

Theories describe the attributes of causative agents.

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.
