You can't even say with certainty that time exists
now, or when it started.
Let us not forget that time is only a created concept of the human mind... I suppose that means you're right though
Of course time exists. D/S=T.

Why is God necessarily more complex than a human?
Technically, he'd be more intelligent right? At least intelligent enough to have designed the universe, according to that argument. It actually makes more sense to argue that complex things came from simpler things but then that implies that complex things can exist without an intelligent designer.
More intelligent I will grant you, omniscience would cause massive intelligence even accounting for the difference between intelligence and knowledge. However, the argument is usually phrased in terms of complexity, not intelligence. Think of Paley's watch, which is the archetypal teleological argument.

I'm failing to see any contradiction in omniscience. "What about unknown unknowns?" There are no unknown unknowns if you are omniscient.
It is impossible to know that there are no unknown unknowns because by definition, you wouldn't know if there were. So, even if you accept that there are no unknown unknowns, the fact that you don't know that there are no unknown unknowns still counts as something that you
don't know, which again contradicts the notion of omniscience.
It is possible to know that there are no unknown unknowns because by definition, you are omniscient so you know everything.
