As for me I word say that the meanings of words, language in general, is nonphysical. At the very least, it is irreducible.
Sound (unweaponized) from a point source exists as outward traveling wave compression shells.

That in itself doesn't mean that I spiritual entity is unimaginable. That's why my sig still read agnostic and will continue to read so. But any scripted god is utter bullshit in lights of what we know about the world and the universe.
Could a totally neutral higher intelligence exist? Certainly. I don't have evidence for or against it's existence. But a humanocnetric deity doesn't make any sense, given the short period of time humans have been around.
I've found no disharmony.
And certainly, if The God does exist, it's the same one for all sentient species since the beginning of the universe.
