Genetic algorithms created our species, which are far more complex than anything we have written in computer science. I think they have stood up to the tests of creating a viable product for a given behavior.
And with future compute, you will be able to evaluate behavior across an entire range of inputs for countless putative functions. There will be a time when none of this is compute bound. It is today, but in three centuries or more?

Yes, and our species is a fragile barely functioning machinery with an insane number of failing points, and hillariously bad and inefficiently placed components.
