Ahmad, as I see it the problem with IC's is something like this:
You can't prove that something does NOT exist within an infinite set of possibilities.
The opposite is easy. To prove that something actually does exist, all
that is needed is to present a example of it.
In your case, Ahmad, you try to prove that there is no solution to a problem, when actually all you can prove is that YOU cant find a solution.
(i.e you cant imagine a way for them to have evolved.
Still you cannot dismiss that someone might have a more vivid imagination than you, and has thought of a way.)
Its like claiming there can't exist any 3 legged animals, just because you haven't seen any. You can't prove there isn't.
You can however easily prove that there are 4 legged animals.
Has there been some matematical approches to this ic-problem?
