Small, incremental changes are merely adaptation and therefore do not rule out initial intelligent design. How can life evolve if it never existed?

“Evolution is not the study of life’s ultimate origin as a path toward discerning its deepest meaning. Evolution, in fact, is not the study of origins at all. Even the more restricted (and scientifically permissible) question of life’s origin on our earth lies outside its domain…Evolution studies the pathways and mechanisms of organic change following the origin of life” - Renowned Evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould

I like this quote too:

“One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid” - James Watson, Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA

Can you name or list any possible evidence or line of evidence that could rule out ID?

What could rule out the unspecified activity of an unspecified agency having unspecified capabilities, doing unspecified things at unspecified times and places, for unspecified reasons?
