The only sensible definition I have for "God" is intelligent creator. And it wouldn't make much sense that it created the reality that it itself inhabits.

how can an omnipresent god be anywhere except everywhere? thats where i would theoretically put him.

i would say...in my idea of god...that its like the mind.

our thoughts exist within ourselves, we are a part of them. our dreams are like realities, and we arent even that intelligent compared to a hypothetically infinite deity. 

so with that said, i assume we would be a creation within the mind of god. existing within him. id like to think that if he is real that we are all one.

it seems cliche, but as are the wisest words ever spoken.
