Sorry if what i wrote is a little hard to understand i am kind of tired.

Those energy sources evolved.
What your teacher was doing was arguing from ignorance-which is what ID thrives off of-it works like this:
Science is continually learning new things, because of which we do not have complete knowledge of biological systems and their evolution (after all, we've only been looking for 150 years, and things have been evolving for 3.5 billion!). So when an IDer does his/her research, which consists of scanning
other people's actual research, they attempt to find something that science hasn't currently figured out yet. When an IDer does find something that fits the bill, they instantly say "ah-ha, ______ couldn't have evolved and it's irreducibly complex, therefore it was ID". When the structure's evolution is explained (as with what happened with blood-clotts) the IDer scrambles to find another similar structure.
It's an effort in dishonesty really.
