Ask an Atheist

Does the "operating well outside of them" mean that a God/deity is omniscent and/or omnipotent?

If we're talking a singular god, that would probably have to be the case for omnipotence. I don't really think omniscience is needed. If we're talking multiple gods, some or all of them may be "mostly-scient/potent".

I put that statement in to try and differentiate a bit, since we're creating a few items that ride the edges and even break a few natural physical properties. Metamaterials are what come to mind. Rethinking, "law" may not be the best semantic choice. But in my mind a deity can really throw stuff out the window that we're quite accustomed to without any technological aid. Like gravity or the conservation of energy.

One thing that kinda drives me nuts is how a god could come into existence. Pondering that quickly turns into some Inception absurdity.
