   The God I am referring to is not a being.   
   That God is an event and/or the underlying   
   structure of the universe with its precesses   
   that we know more about all the time.

   Remember the invisible hand of the market that   
   is explained in economics? God is like that.   
   Acts without acting, Knows without knowing. Does without doing.

   The three omni reflects the efficient action of the   
   underlying structure and processes that have created   
   everything that exists including ongoing processes.

   The power is virtual. The knowledge is virtual. Therefore,   
   these questions lose meaning.

   Given what I have posited, God is everywhere   
   and everywhen, but at the same time nowhere and   
   nowhen. God is a manifestation of the system and   
   the system is a manifestation of God.   
      
   God knows everything because all knowledge is part   
   of the system. God is all powerful because all processes   
   are included in the system.   
      
   The scripture hinted: "I am that I am" in a way   
   of personifying the underlying events and processes.   
      
   The nature of God, in a sense, is ineffable because   
   one is so restricted in time, space, and capacity   
   as to never appreciate the totality of the system   
   or the processes.
