WinterHold, are you familiar with the term "kludge"? (definition [here])
The more you try to fit religious concepts together with scientific ones, the more unwieldy and unbelievable it becomes. Good explanations usually have very few elements, rather than elements that need to be rationalized to make them fit.
I'm not fitting science into religious stuff; they are simply "getting organized together" like pieces of a puzzle.
And that is one ugly ass bridge.

Nobody knows what the "original, full and unique" soul of God has; a tiny part is electricity which humans have and that's about it for us: we're so small, so dependant, just an instance of a part, while God is the full, capable, whole, perfect.
I wouldn't say God is "physical"; because the rest of his soul is unknown to us: we only know the electrical part that needs a physical medium to be generated.
That doesn’t answer my objection. If God only blew the teensiest, weensiest, most minuscule part of his soul into Adam, and that part was electrical, it still means God is a physical Being.
Think harder about stuff.

Of course not.
Electricity is generated by non-physical mediums too:
