Is God omnipresent?

Omnipresence is one of the qualities attributed to God in many religious traditions.

- B.K. SHEILU

It is described as the property of being present everywhere. According to eastern theism, God is present everywhere, in everything, whereas in western theism, omnipresence refers to an unbounded or universal presence.

Hinduism and other religions that derive from it incorporate the theory of transcendent and immanent omnipresence. It is argued that omnipresence is a derived characteristic, as an omniscient and omnipotent being knows everything, and can be and act everywhere simultaneously. Judaism and Christianity too hold that God is omnipresent. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?", God declares in the Old Testament.

These religious beliefs raise the question, can anyone be present everywhere at the same time? A being or a person has a form and a distinct identity based on inherent qualities that are manifest in their actions. A being that has a form cannot be present in each and every particle in the world, as then the being would have no form.
