then we would say that “intelligent design” is the wrong hypothesis for explaining evolution.
Yes, this is clearly not what “intelligent design” means. Even if you accept a version of the strong anthropic principle, in that “physical laws and/or initial conditions at the Big Bang are expressly constrained so as to promote the development of human-like intelligence”, this is not at all the same as positing that evolutionary dynamics are irrelevant. In fact, such a difference could even affect your stance about physical laws more generally; for instance, if it turns out that evolution does not matter after all, this makes the Boltzmann brain paradox that much stronger, which in turns introduces other requirements, and so on.
