The uniqueness of the intelligent designer theory is the intelligent being itself, and fundamentally the origin of intelligence.
Let's assume that life on Earth was created by an alien, i.e. an extraterrestrial being developed beings. In that case, the question would be, what intelligent being created this extraterrestrial being? If we follow this line of thought, there would have to be a beginning, and in that beginning, there would be the primordial. This primordial, or this primordial intelligence, could only exist outside of time, and that would be the very foundation of intelligence.
And what would be the problem? Something outside of time is also a singularity that cannot be proven! Just like the existence of extraterrestrials cannot be proven in a laboratory.
Nor can evolution be proven in a laboratory, because the formation of living beings from inorganic matter, using random systems, is also a singularity, which cannot be proven in a laboratory.
So, if we begin to analyze the origin of intelligence, we begin to enter the universe of beliefs, each one different from the other, and this variability is merely the world of faith, or the world of dogma when that belief is imposed as reality.
The educational imposition of evolution is a dogma, as is the imposition of creationism. They are all based on initial constructions based on singularities.
We can see electrons circulating in an electric circuit and the electromagnetic field formed is not a belief, because we can make it act in different ways in the laboratory. It's available for testing in all sorts of ways. We can see the different ways it acts. This knowledge is not based on singularities or deductions, because you do what you want to prove. What you can't do is simulate it; you can't prove it, it's just a belief, there are no mechanisms to determine how much chance there is of proving that it isn't a belief or how much chance there is of proving that it is a belief. It's just a belief that you think is more likely, and another that you think is less likely, but it's all just a belief, because it can't be proven in the laboratory.
So you can't prove the origin of intelligence, just as you can't prove the theory of the intelligent designer. We can say that intelligence exists, because we see it at work in various things, and even in the laboratory, defining intelligence as a mechanism for obtaining an answer.
Extrapolating to say that intelligence created living beings is the same as extrapolating that at the beginning of the universe a singularity generated everything we know. All these two factors are beliefs, however much some people want to say they are not. This action of saying no is the non-use of intelligence.
Because intelligence determines that similar concepts are considered to be similar. And both the formation of the universe by a singularity and the creation by another singularity are just beliefs, in the most rational way of thinking.
