drug development does not depends on one's faith in ToE. Drugs have to go though tests before they are release to the public

We're in an age of biochemical drugs. Protein based drugs are being  designed and "grown" based on information derived from the theory of evolution.

Interesting. It the same with "evolutionary programming" is just another name with "Trial and error"programming.  Computers are faster at trial and error than making random changes manually like the Wright Brothers did when they test their wing shapes.

 

I'm missing your point here. How exactly are you comparing protein engineering to computer programming?

And mutations or "changes" in biological science/protein engineering can be somewhat random via directed evolution, or can be based on a rational design approach, and some of the techniques in rational design are directly related to the theory of evolution. By studying how proteins evolved we can determine methods and rationales for creating new and novel protein molecules.
