If god isn't real atheist, how is the world so complex?

Somebody's been reading the Bible. Actually, there is a simple reason why the universe is complex, its called entropy. Simply put, entropy (one of the laws of thermodynamics) means that closed systems always descend into disorder. For example, when a cup falls on the floor it breaks, but a broken cup never reembles itself into a whole cup. Or, when you make an omelet, for example, you can't uncook the omelet to return it to its original state or uncrack the egg shell you used to make the omelet. In both examples the unbroken cup and uncracked egg shell are closed systems. Since the universe started out as a singularity, it was a closed a closed system, and over periods of billions of years, entropy has caused it to become more and more complex.
