Does complexity actually imply the lack of a creator?

RE: Does complexity actually imply the lack of a creator?
For a "god" to exist and be a supreme creator makes him an " indefinite article"!
And we all hate indefinite articles, especially us grammar Nazis!Cool Shades

We live in a sad world in need of hope.
If the world was a happy place for everyone, we wouldn't need a god.
(Except for those tardy fragile egos who cannot stand the thought of not living forever, then they just make shit up so their brains won't short circuit).

I'm back fuckers!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Any engineer will tell you that it is better to design things with the minimum amount of complexity able to get the job done.

It is obvious that we are kluged together with unnecessary remnants of our evolutionary past.

Modern humans are just an intermediate species. Our descendants may be unrecognizable to us in 500,000 years.

This didn't come out as I expected, but I hope you understand my thought process. And I apologize for posting twice in under an hour! Thanks!

For your typical definition of God....creating billions of galaxies is just as easy as creating 1 galaxy....or one solar system. I think to argue that the number of galaxies is evidence of the non existence of God would first require you to prove something that you have yet to prove If God if he exists. That It must be harder for God to make 1 trillion Galaxies than to make 1 galaxy.

What's the oldest celestial object in the cosmos?

RE: Does complexity actually imply the lack of a creator?
To the OP: it is hard to know what exactly could possibly count as evidence of any god existing. It might help to start by defining what a god is supposed to be. The idea of a being which created everything as far as the best telescope can see but has nothing better to do than dote on the personal failings of each and every human creature on one sodding planet .. is absurd. But if you scale your concept of god down -a lot- perhaps we could get hold of one. Or we can just put the notion aside altogether and concern ourselves with things that matter a little more.
