Alternate universes theories are as yet lacking in evidentiary support; the same cannot be said for evolution. As more than one famous biologist has said, the vast quantities of biological knowledge amassed over the last century or so are incomprehensible except from the point of view of (some form of) evolution.
On the other hand, the suggestion that Intelligent Design needs more time is puzzling. That there is just one universe and that it has been designed by an intelligence is a very old and widespread idea. Aside from the Bible, for example, Plato's "Timaeus" gives a quite sophisticated and detailed account of such a universe. Unfortunately, Plato's account was (as even he acknowledged) little more than a "likely story". And from our point of view 2,500 years later, it's not very likely at all.
The default position of the naive human mind seems to be "purposeful agency is responsible for everything that happens". If there's a wind blowing, some purposeful agent blew it; if there's a flood, some purposeful agent sent it; if there are stars in the sky, some purposeful agent placed them there; if there's a universe, some purposeful agent made it. All such stories belong to the childhood of our collective intellect.
