Evolutionary computation techniques utilising darwinian evolution have been used to search for solutions to real-life problems. There have been patented circuit designs produced, and a genetic algorithm has been used to design wing shape on aircraft. In many cases the evolutionary algorithm manages to find solutions human designers haven't even thought of.

Anybody else see the irony?

No, because I actually understand the field, and know that what superficially appears to be an element of "ID", isn't (or at least needn't be in practice).
