Yeah, I agree. The shortest god-programs are probably longer than the shortest physics-programs, just not "enormously" longer.
Probably enormously longer if you want it to produce a god that would cause the world to act in a way as if basic EM held.
ie, you don't just need a mind, you need to specify the sort of mind that would want to cause the world to be in a specific way...
