Sure, people do ID and have been for centuries. It's part of why we can recognize ID in the natural world.

We see information symbolically encoded in a computer language or written in a book in a human language .... then we see the same kind of thing inside every cell. Science has made William Paley's old Watchmaker argument* even stronger than ever.

* That was that one walking across a field and finding a watch on the ground would know the watch wasn't a product of nature but something someone had devised. Imagine finding a book with writing in it or a computer with written software inside. Could it be merely a product of nature? Sure the ink, wood pulp, silicon are all products of nature ... but the information and the encoding system (ie language). Thats something all together different.
