Not necessarily.
The Creator would be greater than His creation, but could be less complex.
Okay. Now we're rolling. Slowly, but there's definite motion.
So, leaving aside the irrelevant personal pronoun presuppositions (and the least said about the silly threats from your storybook the better... seriously, we're not all six years old), having allowed at least the possibility that complexity can arise from simplicity, what reason is there to suppose that a creator was necessary in the first place?
Don't bother throwing biblespam at me. Remember you've a long way to go yet before you establish your book as any kind of authority on the subject (indeed, on any subject, for that matter). We're talking gods, not books.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
