We're just guessing on this Samiya, or our ancestors, really. What God may be, is may not exactly fit the Omni,characterizations. Moreover, being a practical, American, we have to know, in a self-interested way, what good/benefit does knowing about God do for us. A ridiculous statement, and yet, We the Who in Whoville, to quote Dr. Suess-Geisel, need to know.

This is strange! What 'theism' it is if it limits God? We believe that God is the Reality, the Prime Originator, the Sustainer, and the Final Goal. Everything is as God wills and allows it to be.

Do you think the Mandelbrot set, or any other piece of pure mathematics, functions without a government, or are mathematical rules themselves a form of government even if God didn't create them? Certainly most atheists now think the universe follows mathematical laws, and one could even adopt Max Tegmark's idea and speculate that our universe is just another part of the uncreated Platonic realm of mathematical forms.
