Would the fractions 1/3 and 2/3 be good examples of irreducible complexity?

Everything on this planet can be broken down into molecules and atoms and subparticles. How on earth could you support irreducible complexity in light of this fact?

Irreducible complexity means that complex systems work together as a system and cannot evolve independently. All components of the system must be present and functioning at once for the organism to live at all.
Even if you go back to a single cell, evolutionists say that a prebiotic macromolecule was the predecessor to the first functioning cell; but even a "primitive" cell is so complex as to make gradual evolution impossible. It would be the equivalent of giving you the plastic shell of a computer and saying, "OK, you have to make a computer out of this, but you can only use one step, and the computer must be fully functioning within that one step." If you try to use more than one step to build the computer, the computer will be destroyed in the meantime.

They say the eye is an example of irreducible complexity. It's funny that our eye is less complex than the eye of a squid.
