God really exists. I find it so relieving that he can scoff at all our attempts to put limits on him simply because those limits apply, to some extent, to us.

Advaita may seem like a philosophy on the outside (it is practiced as a religious stream by many Hindus) but this may very well be the place where Scientific world intersects with the Spiritual world. Many of us are aware of the Plancks equation E = hv where E = Energy of a wave and h = Planck's constant and v = frequency of the wavelength. With the arrival of Einstein it was also established that E = mc^2 where E = energy and m = mass of a particle and c = speed of light.
When we combine the two equations we get mc^2 = hv which gives us a very interesting relation which directly relates the mass of a particle to frequency which means anything material has an associated wavelength namely De Broglie waves . To sum up matter is another form of waves which in turn is another form of energy and so on.In fact it so appears that the whole mesh of this Universe is in fact blending into that One which exhibits itself as many (namely mass energy wave etc). This is where Advaita takes over to explain that everything is but the manifestation of that "One" which is omnipresent omniscient and omnipotent. Even the concept of these fundamental waves is seen in Hindu (and consequently Advaita) belief as Aum .

IF such a creature existed, then you would have NO knowledge of it whatsoever. You would not be able to see it, touch it, feel it, observe it, test it, experience it, or describe it in any way. Why? Because everything that you experience in your life is experienced through your physical senses and is governed by the laws of physics. If something "transends" or goes beyond these things, then how can you know it exists? In what way would it interface with the physical world as we know it? Can you describe such a creature to me? Can you tell me what it looks like, how it behaves, what it thinks, what it knows? And then tell me how YOU are aware of these properties. Tell me how YOU, personally, came to the knowledge of something whose existence you cannot possibly be aware of, simply because you can't connect with it in any tangible way.
If you say that you simply believe in this creature because of what the Bible says, then you must tell me how those writers acquired this information--seeing as how they had the same physical limitations you do--and why you think they are trustworthy, or why anyone else should believe anything they had to say about the matter.
And lastly, why is there a need to ask "What if..." questions about God? If he existed, you wouldn't have to ask "What if..."! It would be obvious, tangible, provable, testable, observable, and everyone would agree on its qualities. Since no two Christians agree on anything, the logical assumption is that they are just imagining their god in the image that they wish him to be....just like every other theist of every other religion in the history of humanity. Give it up already.

If there is an almighty being who created the laws of physics, then by learning the laws of physics you can learn about the creator who made them.
Why then do religious people cry out against the advance of scientific knowledge when it contradicts long-held religious beliefs? Shouldn't they thank science for finally revealing the truth?
Edit:
You now claim that the laws of physics were created by God, but he doesn't follow them. That means God is a hypocrite and unworthy of followers.

the question then arises how/who/ or what created this being or can there be more than one being then? why does this being create the laws for us to live in and obey? whats the purpose? ofcourse the possibility of a being that transcends our laws exists. but maybe that being is restricted by higher laws than itself.

What you are describing is the "Intelligent Design" theory.
Star Trek briefly flirted with the ideas you are putting forward, back in 1967.

If this were true, we could never know anyway, just like there is nothing outside of the universe. Why? Because you can't get there.
