Howso? Evolution does have mountains of evidence, 150 years worth, spanning across multiple independent disciplines with many lines of evidence.

Intelligent Design doesn't have any of that. It was determined not to be scientific by a court of law, and one of it's primary proponents said that under his definition where ID is science, astrology is also science.

I'm only aware of one paper published in a respectable scientific journal by an ID proponent, and the link to ID was thin at best.

ID could be scientific if its proponents actually came up with some science, but to this point they haven't.

I thought we were talking about evolution? Evolution explains the diversity of life, not something out of nothing.

Not to mention that is a straw man and a red herring. A straw man because science doesn't say chance, chaos, coincidence, and randomness created everything out of nothing, and a red herring because being able to duplicate something isn't necessary in order to evaluate the validity of a claim; you can't duplicate God, the flood, a star, an earthquake, or past events but you can still study them.
