OK THERE'S a definition of complexity! I knew you had one! :-)
Given your definition, I would agree. We just need to be on the same page with respect to subjective definitions.
Given a fixed and finite amount of Information (entropy) in the Universe, there cannot be a god with infinite information. If you take a somewhat Deistic approach and say that "God IS entropy" then you have room for a god with finite boundaries consisting of the entire universe. I daresay that is not a conscious or willing god like Yahweh that can interfere with reality and plays favourites though.
