God is light, but...
Why must God totally reside within space-time (creation). That he does
reside here
is attested to many places in scripture. His omnipresence might allude to
His totally
dwelling within space-time, but aren't you limiting God? If He "spoke all
matter into
existence", He necessarily was there before space-time, i.e., there was no
matter
and therefore no entropy, and therefore no time before He initiated ex
nihilo.

the 15x10^9 years of cosmology and the 6 days of Genesis 1 are both
literally true because of the deity's relativistic motion, considering
one requirement of this view: God must be totally within the space-time
universe. This precludes Schroeder's deity from being the Creator of
orthodoxy. It may be the panentheistic deity of process theology or other
heterodox pantheistic views, or even the _deus sive natura_ of Spinoza.
But these are poor substitutes for the Father revealed in the Son.Dve
