There is a lot of evidence. Humans have intentionally bred for certain characteristic in animals and plants for thousands of years. Look at dogs, a Chihuahua and an Irish Wolfdog are the same species by any definition in use today. Yet they differ in mass by orders of magnitudes. Insects develop resistance to pesticides, bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics. Virii develop new ways to circumvent the immune system

If anything this to me seems to be great evidence for the idea of "Intelligent Design". In this case "The Humans" provide the intelligence to monitor and guide the selection system that leads to "improvements". How do you believe those dogs would look if a random generator had replaced the decisions of the intelligence of "The Humans"?
Not to mention the bacteria and other vermin...
