The Standard Model gives a good account of how all the elements came to be. Our new friend should pay close attention to the word how. In addition to the severe lack of predictive capability, ID is silent when it comes to the how.
ID can in no way be considered science; it's literalism dressed up in an effort to pass it off as science. Most Christians don't even accept it. On that note, ID supporters like this guy and AAA would spend their time better convincing the rest of Christiandom, they at least already accept the central premise.
Big Bang nucleosynthesis is pretty compelling. There is no alternative idea why the lightest elements should come in these specific and extremely different abundances, and big bang cosmology predicts it. And the production of heavier elements via fusion is an old hat.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
