Because that is what naturalists are claiming: That life started with basic chemistry and that a soup of molecule are simpler than us (and mindless).

Classical theism has been claiming that God is absolutely simple, with no parts. It is not only simpler than us, it is the simplest thing there can be.

This has been a basic tenet of theology for millennia.

The ultimate simplicity would be non-existence.
