The fact needs to be dealt with.

The right way to deal with it is the way all others who were taken into heaven alive were dealt with; by a Scriptural reference. Not make up some story where Scripture is silent.

How can you ever talk about the idea of the incarnation without bringing her into the matter.

Because while Mary was the vessel, the Incarnation was a mighty act of God, not God and Mary. And the significance of that act of God goes beyond a virgin birth and thunders through history since God made Himself man to die for our sins as the only acceptable sacrifice of atonement. God and man are reconciled, by God's hand alone, not God with man's help. That's how.
