Hi Samwick,
This is probably a slight misrepresentation of the ID position.
They simply say that there appears to be evidence of design in the universe and especially in the [human] genome. They would say it is like a well written piece of software.
They would then go on to say that our cause and effect understanding of the universe is that wherever you find complex information there is an organizing or designing mind.
They simply say the evidence demonstrates some form of designer.
They do not think that you can really know anything of the nature of the designer except that 'it designs'.
This is why ID has some agnostic adherents.
Most creationists would see ID as being just as mistaken as straight forward evolutionary theory - and have a dogmatic objection to anything that supports or gives credence to evolution (which ID certainly does).
