The Christian God is NOT simple.

[Trog31]

God is often described as being simple, this is an extremely important claim for any theists as the more complex an explanation is the lower the prior probability of this thing existing. Seeing as it is already extremely difficult to present any evidence for the existence of God outside of the experience of certain sensations (which is poor quality evidence given the number of contradictory claims based on the same standard) if we could show that the prior probability of this being was much lower than that of possible alternative causes for the universe we would be forced to conclude that the other explanations are much more likely to be true.

New here so apologies if I am breaching protocol by not responding to the last post.

I liked that you are attempting to defeat the "God is Simple" position taken by Theists.
However I would take a different approach. Rather than trying to prove complexity using the concept of "plan"
I would agree with Theists and say "God is SO simple he need not exist"

I'll try to be coherent...
God's "Plan" cannot change.
If it DID change, that would imply imperfection (God can't make mistakes)
A plan that does not change is a map
A map requires no intelligence, no consciousness and no will
The complexity of the map is conferred by the being PERCEIVING/INTERPRETING the map, not the map itself
God is therefore no more complex than what a being perceives Him to be
God takes on the qualities of the observer and has none of his own
(each observer would perceive a different "god")
God therefore exists only in the minds of those perceiving him and is as simple
or complex as the imagination of the perceiver.
God is a figment of imagination

Does that make sense?

Cheers!
