"God", the ethereal, invisible being that is everywhere at all times not only wrestled with Jacob, but injured his hip. Amazing.

because the bible is made up of fairy tales. Like the three little pigs, it was written as precautionary tales to make people (that also believed Earth was flat) behave.

Where does it say God is invisible or ethereal in the Bible? I'm assuming referring to the God of the Bible because you are talking about Jacob.
As far as God being omnipresent . . .
God by definition is far beyond us in every way. Based on references to time in the Bible, like;
God is called the one who was, and is, and is to come.
It speaks of things God decided before time began.
Christ's statement that he existed before Abraham and the Prophets.
I conclude the God of the Bible is separate from our concept of time and not limited by it. So if time is not a limitation, there is no problem with being in multiple places at once, even everywhere at once.

He didn't, God sent an angel down to wrestle with Jacob.

If we take the bible for solid fact, we can safely say and omnipotent being can manifest itself in whatever way it pleases. Probably used that omnisensience to take down Jacob though, in those days people were tanks.

It's even more amazing that God would become a human in Jesus Christ and shoulder every one of man's sins against Him and suffer on a cross of crucifixion so that if you repent of your sins and trust Jesus to save you, that you also can have eternal life. That is truly amazing (and true).

And where, exactly, does the text say that Jacob wrestled with God? I could have swore he wrestled with a man who refused to state his name.
Oh sorry, I mean a "man" who "refused" to "state" his "name."
