No more than evos need to nail down some other cause.

Evolution (the fact, not the theory) is due to changes in a population's gene pool, with changes more adaptable to the environment more likely to live on and pass those changes to the next generation (the theory).

That statement puts forth a cause. "The organization of matter that behaves under predictable laws" does not.

All you've done is present a tautology. The words "is due to" does not define a cause. One could just as easily substitute the word "is."

The presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws is due to the ongoing activity of an almighty, omnipresent, intelligent agent as demonstrated by the ubiquitous presence of observable data communicated to intelligent agents outside of the same, without which the practice of science would be impossible.

The most convincing argument against this theory would be the absence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws. Such evidence has been small in forthcoming, although black holes may be a sign that the absence of organized matter exists.
