I have already stated my stance, which is that I believe chances are God if he exists should probably be more complex than the initial or ensuing universe. I am merely clarifying a fallacy that the creator MUST be as or more complex.

Posts have mentioned here the complex biological attributes . I believe too that if this world is to continue for a few thousand or whatever umber years more, humans will be able to create something more complex.

I stick with this belief. If you do not it is your choice.

That's trying to prove a negative, which you can't do. Same reasoning for how atheists cannot be asked to "prove there is no god". The claim is ours, I agree with that much. We are claiming that all creations are less complex than their creator. This is quite obviously falsifiable; all someone would have to do is find one example of a creation that is more complex than it's creator.
