It explains in the Bible that God is unchanging. In the book of Malachi it says "I the Lord do not change." (NIV) It is a very interesting statement to me. That would mean that God is not made of matter, seeing how all matter changes, nor is he bound by any of the laws of physics.
Funny you should say that. I should think quite the opposite: your musings are evidence the god of the bible does not exist. God can change his mind, for instance the bible tells us He created a flood when he was disappointed in man. But disapointment means He is as much subject to time as we are; because apparently earlier He wasn't disappointed yet. In fact, if He's truly outside time, if He knows past, present and future, He would know the world would turn out as it did. But then why did He bother creating it?
