Good for you, Russ! (Now, I'm sure you'll be happy to tell us in some detail what ID is, and how its different from creationism.)
ID recognizes the fact of design by mathematical and other types of analysis, but it does not identify the designer.
That is perfectly legitimate, just as a signal from outer space could be recognized as coming from an intelligent source even if the source is unknown. In fact, that is precisely what SETI is attempting to do.
There's a clue for you. But I'll bet dollars to dimes you will soon forget it and parrot the standard talking points next time around.
