Calvinist theologian Jonathan Edwards once noted that God is not simply existing for a long time; He is eternity. Eternity is not infinite time; it is the absence of time.

String theory and M-theory in modern physics postulate that the universe may contain ten, eleven, or even twenty-six dimensions. Most of these are "compactified"—curled up so small we cannot detect them—or they exist as membranes parallel to our own. If the Creator exists outside the spacetime continuum, existing in a higher dimension or a completely different dimensional framework, the attributes of God cease to be logical paradoxes and become geometric necessities. Calvinist theologian Jonathan Edwards once noted that God
If God is transdimensional, how can He interact with us? This is where the PDF likely turns to the most shocking moment in theology: Most of these are "compactified"—curled up so small
To understand this, the text (and the theological framework it represents) asks us to imagine a two-dimensional world—a "Flatland." In this 2D plane, inhabitants know only length and width. They cannot conceive of "height." If a three-dimensional being were to pass a finger through their plane, the Flatlanders would perceive it not as a finger, but as a shape-shifting circle appearing out of nowhere, existing, and then vanishing into nothingness. To them, the event is a supernatural miracle; to the 3D observer, it is a simple movement.
Imagine a two-dimensional being (a "Flatlander") living on a flat plane. To this being, reality is length and width. A three-dimensional sphere passing through the 2D plane does not appear as a sphere. The Flatlander sees a dot that grows into a circle, then shrinks back to a dot and vanishes. The Flatlander concludes, "There is a magical circle that changes size." He cannot perceive the depth of the sphere.
