There you go.
Complete and utter speculation. I offer my challenge again, come up with 1 thing humans have made that is more complex than themselves and a method of determining complexity.

Even if you can think of something which you reckon is more complex than its creator, you would need a method of testing its complexity. Robots today already have greater memory and processing power than us, but this doesn't make them complex, it only makes them more advanced in those specific attributes. We don't even properly understand how our brains work yet, we don't know how memory works yet, so how can we even begin to say things are more complex.

By the way, I'm loving this new "debate". It's a great new topic, thanks for bringing it up!
