Why bother when "irreducible complexity" is no problem? IOW the original IDer claim -- that an IC system (one where all parts are necessary to the function of the system such that none can be removed) cannot be created in a stepwise fashion -- is simply false. (IDers will often admit this when pressed persistently by a skeptic, even if they remain content to use this falsified trope on the sheeple.)
There are in fact several ways to generate IC systems by small steps. For instance the addition of parts or steps that are not initially necessary (only helpful) but which later become necessary due to other changes.
Or there's the removal of scafolding. Simple example the later would be a stone arch built around interior stones later removed. The final arch is irreducibly complex (every stone is essential to maintain the arch) but it was formed one stone at a time.
Functional shifts provide other paths. (Think of the arch with the interior stones still in place as not a disfunctional arch, but a functional wall.)
Tell that to the genius Richard Dawkins, he is the one that felt the need to invoke Aliens in the face of irreducible complexity.
While it may be true that step by step the extremely complex DNA molecule could have been formed purely by chance, the chance of that occurring is so ridiculously low it borders on the impossible, as Dawkins was apparently aware and under such pressure made a fool out himself.
