Okay so there are a lot of questions that say "Where is god?"
90% of the answers from Christians say "Everywhere"
If this is true, why is it that when someone asks "Why can't you see god?", the Christians say that he's outside of space and time? Could you please make up your mind? Is he everywhere, or nowhere? If he's outside space and time how could he answer a prayer? Please, enlighten me.

God is in control- He sees all. So therefore He can be anywhere He wants to be- BUT He knows all and sees all- He is all Spirit. HOWEVER He does not live in those who are not his children, those who do not beleive, the bible says God is far from the wicked- so that is where He is not- BUT he still knows their thoughts and their hearts. He sees their deeds. Doesn't that make sense to you? HIs holy spirit lives in those who believe and God is with us always, who believe---directing our steps and convicting us when we are wrong, and leading us into all truth as we study His word. Hebrews 4:12-13- 12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
-The truth is in those who believe and are justified through Jesus Christ- The truth is Jesus Christ- the truth is God. So He lives in us who believe, and He knows EVERYTHING about everyone but he does not "live" in those who do not believe---however He can convict a sinner when he saves them- He can draw people to Him whenever he pleases.

God use to walk with Adam and Eve in the garden. Then they sinned and were no longer holy. You can't be around God and not be holy so we were seperated. God came to a few in the Old Testament in the Bible that were righteous through the blood sacrifices of that time but anyway we are not holy therefore God can not walk among us. If you have accepted Jesus God's Son as your Lord and Savior then you can commune with God once again. God made the universe so He is everywhere He is way bigger than you can ever imagine. God is everywhere and right where you are to meet you.

God lives in our hearts. He lives everywhere because He is a Spirit. To say that God lives outside space and time, means that He can time travel and yet be everywhere. This is a difficult concept and it could give you a headache.

I don't know if your mind can conceive this
but we live in two worlds
spiritual and reality [human]
there is a constant warfare for our soul between God and satan
We are the playing field
There is never any peace for us because satan never sleeps
We are constantly being smacked around spiritually with doing
'what is right'
even you, I'm sure, has faced the delimma of what is right and what is right?...
So God is as unseen to our eyes as satan is
He is in those pullings your heart has
that so called 'voice in your head'
but so can be satan
Thats why we need to stay in prayer
but we all fail
human nature wasn't designed to perfect
and we obviously cannot
look at politics for example
Its what's in your heart
Go ask God if you don't beleive me
but you better be ready for the answer

One of the biggest reasons people have a hard time understanding "where is God" is because we try to place Him within our physical realm and understanding. God "lives" if you will, in the spiritual realm, The Bible says that God is (a) spirit and not a physical being. God did create the physical and the spiritual, and can and does act within both realms. He does answer our prayers.

God is a "spirit". Not a person with a regular body like we have. That is why people say he is everywhere, like air or wind. Although honestly, I think God is too big for a person to truly understand in the physical sense.

Ok, if you say he exists in some other realm he still has to play by the rules of this one in order to have spoke to a person to have wrote the book. You cannot create sound out of nothing.
You either need a body to create the acoustics of sound or move some rocks around. It doesn't matter what dimension you are in they all apply to the same rules. A 2d picture will fall victim to gravity just as a 3d box etc...

He exists in the 4th dimension. We cannot see Him, but He is there, and He can work through angels between the 3rd and 4th dimensions. When you pray, you may not be aware that there is an angel right next to you in the next dimension. He takes the message to God.
Here's an example:
Take a piece of paper. Draw two circles on it. These represent Mr. & Mrs. Flat, and they live in Flatland. They see each other as straight lines. Now let's say I represent God and have the ability to pass through solid objects. I stick a finger through the paper. Mr. Flat says, "I've seen God. He's a circle." Now I stick three fingers through the paper. Mrs. Flat says, "No, I've seen God. He's three circles." She then goes off and starts the church of the Three Circles. Both have a very limited concept of who I am, because I'm just in the next dimension. I could put my finger on Mr. or Mrs. Flat, and I could be closer to them than they are to each other.

While I am so skeptical about your last request ('enlighten me'), the answer is actually "I don't know". I am sorry we Christians are to human and afraid to say that sometimes. That is the beauty of faith, sometimes there are things you cannot explain to someone else, and to try, as we keep doing here on answers, is what the bible refers to as casting our pearls (the incredible experience of faith) before swine (those who have no intention of appreciating or honoring our greatest treasure, but only wish to mock)
Thanks and I really do hope you can give some respect and honor to the followers of Christ who try to live in an honorable way.
