Nice gambit.

Don’t address the question that you specifically requested that I clarify, instead claim that the rules of the game are such that my team cannot play.

OK. Do you have any natural science grounded articles or studies, of any variety at all, that would support the notion of irreducible complexity?

It is still OK to suggest that the natural sciences study the natural world, right?

One difficulty with such a task is that we still do not fully understand genetics. One way around that though is to consider genetic algorithms in the computer science side. You can look here for a take on exploring what the limits of genetic algorithms (and by extension evolution?) are. From the linked article:

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are robust adaptive systems that have been applied successfully to hard optimization problems, both artificial and real world. Yet GAs do fail... If we are ever to understand how hard a problem GAs can solve, how quickly, and with what reliability, we must get our hands around what "hard" is.
