If it were rational, it would also be falsifiable.

Let me ask you: what would have to happen for you to rescind your belief?

Also; at the risk of starting a discussion about religion: you haven't developed a logical argument by saying "universe is complicated -> deity". You've only moved the problem of "who or what created X" up one level to the deity. Who created the deity?

Rationality itself is not falsifiable, it relies on axioms that must be assumed true in order to work.

Edit: Treating rationality as something real as opposed to just a (very useful) figment of our imagination, i.e. something like a variant of Platonic Realism, is no different from any other religion.
