It's easier for me to understand if I think of it like this. God is not physical therefore He does not live in the physical world. And TIME is an essential characteristic of the physical world.
Now, go to a chalkboard and draw a time line starting at the creation of the world on the left side of the board. Then as you progress across the board place historical events in order until you finally arrive at the present on the right side of the board.
Now, are you are part of the board? No, because you do not live and exist as a part of the board. But because you are outside the board you have the ability to see all areas of the board at the same time. By not existing within the board you can see the creation, the fall of Rome, the dark ages, the Cold War, and the present and view them equally as existing NOW in one swift view.
I believe that is the best way I can describe the omnipresence of God. God is not physical, therefore, He exists outside of time and is not bound by time. God can see us and interact with us at the exact same (for lack of a better term) time that He can see and interact with other times in history. He can simultaneously see and interact with Joseph in Egypt, David killing Goliath, Peter cutting off the ear of the Roman soldier, and each of us as we go about our day today and tomorrow. Just a thought.

If you take this question philosophically, you can look at it through the eyes of Thomas Aquinas. e states that everything on earth is considered as a 'mover' so that A will influence B will influence C and so on. If we then backtrack, we realize that we cannot backtrack infinitely. At some point there must have been the first mover. A lot of people consider this first mover to be what we consider to be God. However, this is just a way of proving that he exists. For all we know, this 'God' could have died out long before any of us came to be alive. Therefore, if you answer yes to this question, there is no true way of proving this scientifically or philosophically, your just continuing what you've been taught growing up. If you say no, it's the same case. There is simply no way to know.

Yes. Sometimes I wonder if the zero point flux has anything to do with Him. It's kinda weird. Everything is NOT God, yet God is IN everything. Wrap THAT around your brain twice before breakfast!

nicely - there's a reason behind God turning out to be devil. you recognize - to save the yin & Yang of issues in stability. yet he of course had some too many Gin & Tonics at the same time as he got here up with Republicans... -- basically imagine of what the international will be like if God hadn't hadn't loved his cocktails somewhat too a lot..

Yes, God is omnipresent, meaning He is present everywhere.

No.. it's more like omni-absent.... and omni-impotent... and He's very much an obsolete, time-worn idea who was invented straight from the mind of man.
