When we do it, it's Intelligent Design.
When a sponge does it, it's just a random mutation which happened to provide a benefit worth keeping for hundreds of millions of years. Just dumb luck, really.

Just think, for evolution to be true, every creature on earth—the simplest of which is sophisticated beyond our wildest imaginations—has to be the product of billions upon billions of chance mutations. That’s quite a run of dumb luck!

Its not just dumb luck. Its luck plus the awesome effect of survivability of the mutation repeatedly tested against reality millions of times in a myriad of individuals.

Mutations that help the individual’s survival and reproduction persist and in turn get more mutations piled on in some descendants later. It never ends. Always testing, bad ones dying out, good ones carrying on....

Dumb luck is the least of it. It’s not dumb at all. It’s reality.
