Complexity Argument Against God
Theists never claim that God is a simple entity. Instead we recognize that we cannot comprehend the nature of God. Given our knowledge of the limited number of neurons in our brains, the idea that we should be able to understand an infinite God is an irrational idea within itself that contradicts observation. Also the assertion that God has to be simple comes from the philosophical idea of reductionism. It assumes that every complex system can be explained in simpler terms. While this is a useful idea in many instances, it has no scientific basis whatsoever. In fact even in science, it is argued that many phenomena such as morphogenesis, autopoiesis, and metabolism are emergent and cannot be explained through reduction. It must also be noted that it is ignorant to claim with certitude that the Big Bang did in fact occur. The Big Bang model is our current best model of the universe. While there is evidence for it, there are also a number of observations made by the scientists that go against this model as well as the fundamental framework that it is based upon. As everything else in science, the Big Bang theory is a working model that is almost guaranteed to change in the future as we make new discoveries. Finally, another thing to note is that the Big Bang model requires us to assume a singularity of infinite density. The idea of infinity is an abstract concept which has no physical existence. We also know that infinities are complex, so the idea that the universe would have started by something simple like a singularity is a self contradictory idea.
