Certainly God is supposed to be of the utmost importance, but that sense of grandeur is not rooted in complexity, either conceptually or literally. A two year old can understand what God is supposed to be. The position that I am arguing is knock down that unsupported balloon that you tried to float about science being better than religion because science always means that complex things are explained by simple things. If you recall, I said that religion does the exact same thing. The God concept is grand in a different way than natural selection is grand, but they are comparable as far as the relation of simplicity to complexity. This is something that science and religion have in common, not which sets them apart. Your straw man of me arguing that God is not important didn't work.
