[ We can't verbalize what we can't adequately conceptualize, and likewise the contrary, so we oft find neither adequate expression nor satisfactory understanding when dealing with the idea of the Judeo-Christian God (as so commonly said, we see 'through a glass darkly') for He is not like us, though it is said that we are created in His image. ]

Amen language, any language is so crude when expressing these matters.. A God/Being/Entity that can morph matter/energy (the earth/universe/us/"walking on unfrozen water") would not be like "us"... Could be even "SHAPE(Geometry/even known Physics)" is a primitive concept.. to this being.. And may become primitive to "us" too in the future... The parable of the "talents" comes to mind(and a few others as well)..

1 Timothy 3:16 (Young's Literal Translation)

[A]nd, confessedly, great is the secret of piety --
God was manifested in flesh,
declared righteous in spirit,
seen by messengers,
preached among nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory!
