So we are too complex to have not had a creator, but God himself is not? Who created God, who is more complex than we?
Once you recognize that there is a limit to the human mind and that question is impossible to answer you stop banging your head on it. What came before the Big Bang?
Materialism fails because it can't address those questions. The recognition that there is a power not bound by the laws of nature is the only rational way of dealing with them.
Dunno but it's a pretty good bet that it wasn't RM/NS.
So if some being created God, who created that being? And who created the one that created God? And who created the one who created, the one who created, the one who created,....? And so on ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
What's your point? And just how far back do you want to take that agrument?
If all of space-time came into creation via the Big Bang, then it would seem the initiator of the Big Bang (i.e., God) would exist prior to and independent of the dimension of time... the dimension of cause and effect. That would seem to fit with the concept that God is an uncaused being.
But now we're getting into things a bit deep for the human mind...

Dear GraniteStateConservative,
Although I don't have the time or the inclination to expand on this, typically philosophy (and Christian theology) identify God as entirely simple.

How long does it take to create time?
What did matter weigh before it existed?
How much space is required to create all dimensions?
How do these questions differ from the question that you ask if everything must be compared to the physical? Or are you stating that either everything physical ultimately needs a creator / or nothing physical ultimately needs a creator?
If nothing physical ultimately needs a creator than I should expect answers to these questions from well, ultimately mindless causes
