ABSTRACT

We have been considering some of the complexities of God’s relation to the temporal order. Moreover, that temporal order is, on our current physical understanding, intimately linked to the spatial order. Now, God is quite generally supposed to be a nonspatial being, bereft of body.1 That means, at the least, that He does not occupy space, has no shape or spatial dimensions, and has no spatial location. Nevertheless, He is also regularly held to be omnipresent which, if it means anything at all, presumably means that God is able to act as a proximate cause of mundane events at any place and at any time in the universe.
