A portmanteau of Pareidolia and Apophenia that refers to the false perception of intentional creation. It calls upon the idea of perceiving a more metaphorical face of some creative thinking intelligence.
Example: Code written by a computer can be utterly incomprehensible to a human yet the accomplishment of such a complex task looks like it requires the work of an intelligent being.
Etymology:
pára "beside" or "contrary to" and eîdos or "form" from pareidolia
phaínō or "appear" from apophenia

When a person believes evolution requires conscious guidance, they are just experiencing Pareidophenia because they have never understood what it is like to be a programmer looking at the incomprehensible yet effective output of a genetic algorithm written by their own hand.
