It's pretty obvious that evolution didn't "invent" anything because accident or not, to invent requires an originator or discoverer which is to say an entity with agency. It's as absurd as saying relativity invented black holes.

And yet everybody understood what the parent means, which is that it was created by an evolutionary process. And also everybody understands that the pedantic minutiae of whether "invent" can be used here is beside the actual point the parent makes.
