A philosophical god outside of time that is an immutable, immaterial, eternal being etc. What processes can exist within such a being to reach the definition of being alive? Granted the normal definition may be too narrow; ie a being with some form of metabolic processes. But even broadening the definition quite liberally from that point, to say any being with an internal process mental or physical its still hard to see how you could get there. Necessairly such a being would still require to act within time, not be immutable, else there is no process. I would also argue they need material stuff to fire their mental processes (from the powerful inductive argument of the mind-brain connection).
