So far the only evidence is the "there are few if any alternatives and look how many apparently wonderful mathematical coincidences make this work, this must mean something" argument. I don't know whether it would explain the existence of laws of nature per se, but via the "landscape of vacua" it provides a very explicit framework to think about how universes with different laws of nature arise e.g in inflation, which ones those are, and how the anthropic principle figures into this.
