How does the immaterial of god interact with the material?

Answer 1

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.

Don H –

We may not understand the physics of supernatural worlds, we understand the physics of our universe fairly well; particularly when it comes to things like friction, inertia, and Newton’s Third Law (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). This tells us that—in our world, anyway—it is not possible for a thing or being to, simultaneously, (a) possess the ability to physically interact in our world and (b) move through our world in a ghostly or spirit-like manner.

This means, for example, that it is not possible to be able to (a) open a door and (b) pass through a door like a ghost in a movie. So, if there were a God (or whatever) that physically interacted with our world, it would leave a trail of evidence that would allow us to hunt it down and kick the snot out of it because—if it can reach out and touch us; then we can reach out and touch it.

Gravity is a property of physical things – specifically it is a force that is proportional to the product of the masses of particles of matter (no matter how small or large) and inversely proportional to the squared distance between them.

Just because you cannot ‘see’ something, that does not make it ‘non-physical’.

Answer 3

Mr. Garcia you do not know the true meaning of the word immaterial. God is spirit, a living spirit who is in heaven and He could not be compared to anything else, hence He is the mightiest and beyond compare.. For your information, I want you to read the meaning of immaterial which you are telling so that you may learn to know the true meaning before using it.
immaterial

im·ma·te·ri·al [ìmmə tree əl]
adjective
1. not relevant: lacking relevance or importance
2. having no physical substance: not made of matter, or not physically real

Answer 4

because the universe existence is dependent upon God
however God's existence depends on nothing else

the material and imaterial is not the right way to look at it
its more like material and beyond material, God is more than material not less than it

Answer 5

Seems pretty easy to me. Afterall we have examples in science of the non-physical interacting with the physical (i.e. Gravity, electromagnetics ...)

Answer 6

idk.
