ID admits the possibility that certain mechanisms found in nature might have been designed rather than arising through the currently observed laws of physics and chemistry.
It then asks how we could test said mechanism to see if it was or was not designed, that is to define the qualities within a system that demonstrate that creativity and ingenuity were inputs much as we understand these terms from our own passion for designing stuff.
It also consider the quantity of information in certain structures (e.g.a DNA molecule) and the feasibility that this information content might be a way to ascertain if the structure arose naturally or required intelligence – as we understand the term from our everyday lives.
This is the extent of the detail that you have provided. Information about your understanding of the Cambrian era or anything else you’ve said did not support these ideas. If I missed something, sorry. I’ve seen more fleshed out discussions of this elsewhere, but, sorry, not convinced. I’m not going to present those discussions, that’s your job Sherlock.
