Wonderfully interesting, but it actually makes the case for ID instead of evolution. Think about it -- the code has a teleological goal set to make clocks. As the machines evolve, they will always eventually end up as people (sorry, clocks) even though the underlying processes appear to be random. While it is an amazing bit of hacking, sorry, you just shot yourself in the foot by showing exactly how ID could proceed -- a designer of some sort setting a teleological goal and then letting evolution reach the goal.

For the other posters, please remember that ID != Creationism. Creationism is the literal belief in the Genesis account of the Bible, which ID certainly is not.
