Now you are comparing a machine designed specifically to do one task well and nothing else to a human that is much more allround and therefore needs to balance out in what fields of expertise it must excell. That is hardly a fair comparison. Kasparov is way more complex than Deeper Blue. You might as well argue a cheetah is more complex because it can run faster than humans. It is not a good comparison.

Supply the evidence for that and I will consider it. Not the evidence for a creator, but that a creator can be less complex that created a universe and everything in it.

So far I have seen nothing that seems to suggest otherwise.

Who claimed the universe "popped" out from nothing?
