That's an easy one. To God (if He exists), those things that seem complex to you would be very simple. In fact, to Him there is no complex or simple, it's all just part of His creation.

You sound very deep, as in Kwai Chang Caine deep. You must be a huge hit at parties.

Yeah, but it's all relative. Something very complicated to you might be very simple to me. Or to my intellectual peers like Stephen Hawking or Richard Feynman or Werner Heisenberg.

Something relatively simple to you might be unfathomable to Toddowen, or to a lobster.

Rememember, God is not a human being (though his son was but interspecies reproduction is beyond the scope of this discussion).
To put it in quantitative terms:

God -> humanity

is like

Einstein -> a peanut x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

I left out an 'of'.
Where? Seems like maybe you could have replaced an 'about' with an 'of' but that wouldn't change the 'use nothing but your forearms to pick up the pot full of flaming hot coals' Carl Spackler-esque profundity of your apparent daily routine.

No need to add to what Mikey said.

I agree with him.
