Observation 1: God has always been

Genesis 1:1 'In the beginning, God created....' The way that this is put clearly points out that God was there first. 'In the beginning, God...' not 'In the beginning, there wasn't a God, and then there was...' but that there was God, and then God set about creating. The 'Beginning' is the beginning of creation, not the beginning of God. The reason for this is that there has always been a God and always will be. So before time, there was God, and in the beginning of time, here is what God did.

Observation 2: God is spirit

Because God exists outside of time and space, He is not a physical 'person' in the same way that we are - He is spirit.
