Name me one - just one experiment in evolution that is not directed by an outside intelligence. Every experiment thus far conducted has been designed and carried out by some human entity - thus showing that ID was (and is) very necessary to the implementation and conclusions of said experiments.

If I understand your argument, it goes like this:

1. People use intelligence to conduct experiments.
2. Therefore, life on earth is the result of the Intelligent Designer.

Have I left out any steps?

Close, but not quite.  My argument is that since all such experiments are intelligently directed, they cannot show the lack of ID in the natural state.  In order to do so, they must remove the ID element from such experiments.

ID doesn't prove the existance of a creator.  But it uses the idea of a creation agent as a working hypothesis to explain niggling facts that are often glossed over or ignored by traditional evolutionists.  Similarly, Jay Gould used "punctuated equilibrium" to explain gaps in the fossil record.  BTW, ID doesn't prove or disprove evolution either.
