Some models, sometimes, but that's not even the norm.
Perhaps you're familiar with the Duane Gish strawman parody of punctuated equilibrium. "One day a dinosaur supposedly gave birth to a bird! But where was another bird for that one to mate with?"
I don't have to tell you that punk-eek isn't really like that. But Intelligent Design is like that. One year, Ford discontinues rear-wheel drive sedans and out comes the all new Taurus or whatever. Boom!
But nature's Intelligent Designer never makes a big new design release. There are some mechanisms in plants and asexuals that do produce single-generation speciation, but these are limited in effect. Let me add that these are well-understood naturalistic causes (polyploidy, hybridization).
ID doesn't say the designer has to mimic evolution, but He always does. ID doesn't say why.
(I'm not going to go on debating an argument which is essentially this: "We can move genes around, therefore -- ta da! -- Zeus is alive and well on Mount Olympus.)
You mean that I missed the fossil evidence of species X, Y, and Z that gradually led up to the duck-billed platipus (the only poisonous mammal in all of time)?! Did I miss ten or twenty transitional species that led up to the first bird?
Come on, there are these and other examples of big new design releases.

Specifically how does Intelligent Design mimic Evolutionary Theory in regards to the formation of the duck-billed platipus? Please explain.
