How can we explain a God that does not belong to our physical dimensions? In basic multivariable calculus you can prove mathematically an infinite number of dimensions. Our limited minds can only graph three : length,height, and width but that doesnt mean that the other dimensions simply dont exist because we cant see them.
Lets imagine that an ant in a two dimensional world wants to get inside a cookie jar to get the cookies. His only two dimensins are width and length. The ant isnt able to figure a way into the jar because there is no way in going around it. I am watching all this from a three dimensional world and i am able to notice that if he climbs all the way up he will reach the opened top,go down and get the cookie,go back up and leave. He does not realize this because he does not know what height is but i come in the picture and give the ant advice on how to get it.
Since we can prove mathematically that more than one dimension exists I pose the following question:
What if there is somebody in another dimension wathching down on us that wants to give us advice on how to live a beter life and help us with our problems but we just simply reject him because of no empirical evidence. Can anybody here jump to other dimensions toprovide us with such evidence?
If the problem in believng in God is empirical evidence then im afraid evolution faces the same problem since empirical evidence to suuport important things like the transitional fossls is not yet available

Actually, you can define and manipulate contructs in an infinite number of dimensions. But I agree with the point of your post: this does not necessarily have anything to do with the real universe.
Exactly my point. Are you saying because you cant see it it doesnt exist?
