You may think that you're kidding about the last entry, but there actually is 
an "Intelligent Design" subdiscipline discourse on software and hardware 
engineering in the European engineering community. See, e.g.:

The phrase is more common in England and its associated countries than it is 
here in the US simply because it was invented there before anyone in the UK 
heard of the American nonsense, but if you were to research the subject, you 
won't find thin volumes. Indeed, you'll find a small library full of the 
treatises on the "intelligent design" of software.
