While I'm not sure, I'm assuming you accept evolution Jib. Hopefully, I'm right about that. You're not a Creationist, are you?
If so, then you agree we don't start out with complexity. A single light sensitive cell comes before a complicated eye. The complicated eye evolves from the simple light sensitive cell. Vertebrae before non-vertebrae, etc.
The universe is no different. Simple red hot planets before ones with more complicated atmospheres and biospheres evolved. Simple atoms like hydrogen and helium evolved before the heavier elements. Stars before galaxies, etc., etc. As time goes on, complexity increases. This isn't to say that complexity MUST arise, but that complexity must have simple beginnings. Nothing starts out being complex.
I'm not a scientist or a teacher, so let me know if you don't understand this and maybe I can find a few links.
