Evolution as evidence for atheism

What's your opinion on that?

When I heard Dawkins propose this argument, one question immediately popped in my head:

"What do you base that on?"

His assumption was that "Complexity of Designer > Complexity of Thing Designed" and this formula always holds. But is this true? Don't we design things bigger and more complex than us all the time? I suppose it depends on how you define "complexity".
