I think I know a way to discredit ID once and for all. Intelligent Design, in order to avoid “religious” association, does not name the desginer. It simply posits that there is an intelligent designer. Why not aliens? If somehow we can get the UFO nuts to latch on to ID with aliens as the designer, then it is game over. Can you imagine serious MSM reporting on Intelligent Desgin with the likes of David Icke et al backing it up?

Exactly. Since, anything can therefore be defined as the intelligent designer since there is no explicit definition within the ID textbooks. This can be as you suggested alien beings with a capacity to create life. Or any other being for that matter.
