Why does the substance have to be complex? Why can't it be infinitely simplistic? That would seem equally logical to me.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying too.
The substance itself could be very simple (or 'infinitely' even) - but God himself is made up of all this stuff to be something much much much more complex.
To have this very simple substance right from the beginning doesn't have to be complex. The substance itself could be extremely simple I think (after all, things are made up of more simple things generally) but the resulting "God" would have to be complex (because of the attributes that God would have to have, even if it's only the bare essentials of God).
If anything I say it's more probable ( if only ever so slightly). Because I think it's more probable that there is an absurdly improbable God at the beginning made up of lots of very simple stuff - than to not only have an incredibly complex GOD right at the beginning but for the substance that he is MADE of to be so complex too! (it's simpler to have more simple stuff at the beginning; if it's complex stuff at the beginning then I would think that couldn't be the beginning and 'we' must be mistaken - this 'complex stuff at the beginning' must be made of more simple stuff I would think).
