Take the 2-minute tour ×  The Rambam in beginning of Hilchos
Deos asserts that God has no body - physical or otherwise.
Hence, God is totally intangible. If so, how can the untangible
affect anything in this world?  If He has no corporeality at
all, then how does He effect a physical event? In our
understanding, every time light comes in to being or clouds
move, some physical source must cause it, but God isn't
physical. Is saying "Let there be light" a physical act? If so,
that contradicts the Rambam; if not, how does it effect the
creation of light?  I'm not asking that physical effects imply a
physical being. I'm asking how, assuming He has no physical
being, He effects things. Not that He can't: yes, that'd limit
Him. But how does He? Familiar physical events require a
physical thing to effect them: by what medium does a non-
physical God effect physical things?  share|improve this

leggs, no brain, yet he can exhibit strength, think, etc. How
