Anything that was capable on creating an entire universe, everything within it and then monitoring and communicating with the lifeforms within it, would have to be the most complicated thing in the universe...more complicated than the universe itself infact!
A pot is not more complicated an object than the potter that made it.
A part of a machine is not more complicated than the whole machine itself.
So whilst it's nice to imagine God is the easiest, cuddliest, friendliest, biggest, simplest ball of light you can, that can't be the so.
And yet, it's the very same arguement that religious folk use to discredit evolution. That something so complicated as humans don't come about by chance. Why doesn't the religious definition of what is complexity, apply to their head guy?

I've noted all the answers (so far) have been taking issue with God being considered simple however are ignoring the issue...
...if God is "simple by no means" or is not a single entity. Then you are agreeing that God is complex.
In which case, since (as you argue against evolution) something complex has to be created by something, not by fluke...then there was a creator of God?

God is almighty and sovereign and perfect.....
Simple????
By no means.....He is holy and just and the Creator of everything. And He eternally exists in 3 distinct Persons:
Father, Son & Holy Spirit......

If you think the whole world lives on christian doctrines, youre sorely wrong.
And thank God it doesnt.
Read some more and youll see that there are people who consider God to be the most complex thing ever yet know the Creator asks very simple things from us.
Like being good to people.
Some people just dont have enough brain juice to tell the difference between the two.
Touche!!!

Where is it taught that God is simple?
Or singular for that matter. The Christian God is considered a plurality...the holy trinity.
