Irreducible complexity is a scientific term that means an organism or even something mechanical cannot function as designed without that component.
When you speak of going to court are you referring to the 1920s scopes case in Tn?
That was hardly a two sided presentation of facts. Today our knowlege of biology genetics and the cellular world are vastly superior.
You ask about rotovirus...i know nothing about it except this. Viruses mutate they also develop resistance to antibiotics etc. This mutation is typically found at a genetic or cellular level. There are certain environmental influences that seem to act upon existing information at a cellular or genetic level which allows the triggering or activation of that existing info allowing an organism to seemingly evolve...this is actually known as micro evolution.
But...there has never been a documented case of an organism GAINING information it did not already possess in it genome.
The second law of thermal dynamics...Atrophy...basically covers this.
Living organisms may lose info but they do not gain anything that was not already contained in the original genome.
