Please read the web page carefully and identify who the "designer" in ID is. It is intentionally not identified because that is a theological issue. Hence, your statement that they don't agree is not correct.

Well, on this page they call the designer "God"...

#4. Materialism, Naturalism, Darwinism, all these isms, what do they have to do with me and my life?

Materialism is a powerful philosophy of life today because it sets the boundaries for what is right and wrong in society. It explains the ''rules'' that govern our civilization. It goes to the very intellectual roots of society, the very foundation that our social and cultural institutions are built upon.

Indeed, if materialism is right -- as most intellectuals propose -- then ''God'' is merely a figment of our imagination. Therefore, God didn't create man; man created God. Doestoyevsky once said that ''if God is dead then all things are lawful. '' Might makes right. The State is the ultimate enforcer of rules.

Let's look at how materialism has infected the legal system, welfare and popular culture.
