God is everywhere within His Creation, but God also transcends, or is beyond, His Creation.

== Building the concept of Omnipresence one logical bit at a time ==

== Balancing Omnipresence and Transcendence ==

The belief of Pantheism (that the Creation is God) may be the result of admitting the natural sense that God is omnipresent while rejecting, or else failing take into account, the sense that God is transcendent.

On the face of it, there seems to be a problem of balancing God's omnipresence with God's transcendence. There seems to be an effort needed to keep from being forced to one side or the other: Deism or Pantheism.

In contrast to Pantheism is Deism. Deism may be the result of believing in the transcendence of God while failing to see how God can actually be present in His Creation without '''''being''''' His Creation. So, Deism holds that there is a God but that God cannot interact with His Creation.

Deism is the view that God's transcendence prevents Him from interacting with His Creation. Pantheism, in its purest form, is the view that God's omnipresence prevents Him from actually being the Creator, such that the Creation '''is''' God, and that otherwise there is no God.

In any case, there is a dualistic view of God's omnipresence and God's transcendence. This is the view that God's omnipresence is different from God's transcendence. So, there is a need to accept both God's omnipresence and God's transcendence.

So, God must be transcendent  ''and'' omnipresent in order to be God. But, then, is God more transcendent that He is omnipresent? But, if we assume that His transcendence and omnipresence are equally 'weighted', then, by what logical mechanisms can we see them as such?

But, there may be at least one way to resolve the seeming conflict between God's omnipresence and God's transcendence: by allowing that the classical geometric point may actually exist.
