Thanks for helping.  1) Intelligence is known to cause effects exhibiting information rich and specified complexity.
              
                              2) The universe and life are effects that exhibit information rich in specified complexity.

                              3) Therefore, intelligence is a possible cause for the universe and life. 

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

That one is easy just google complex specified information is bullshit.

What your opponent is doing is probably a variation of the Gish gallop, trotting out arguments quicker than you can refute them and then claiming the win by default. Your best long term strategy is "citation needed", followed by "you already asserted this, you never backed it up though". Shift the burden of proof back to them, because it's their responsibility.
