I then asked her if a being's complexity inherently necessitated a creator, wouldn't that creator's complexity also necessitate a creator of their own? Her answer was that no, it didn't, because the nature of God is outside our realm of understanding. This is the kind of argument I always see. If you apply any logic or scientific method to the concept of "God", it simply gets brushed aside as irrelevant.

Actually, logic would dictate that a Creator can not be created. For if He was created, He could then not be the Creator. Therefor, for a Creator to exist, He would have to have always existed; ie being eternal.

That is logic in it's simplest.
