In a way, there is none.
Genesis says humanity is made in the image of God. Scholars know that the word for “image” used
in that description is ambiguous. It
might well be interpreted to mean that humanity is brought into existence by
the imaginings of God.
And of course, in any event humanity IS brought into—and sustained
in—existence by the imaginings of God.
God not only exists in the fullness of any relevant concept; He is also
the author and sustainer of all concepts.
Therefore attempts to conceptualize either Creation or its
Author are imperfect recapitulations of His work or character, and have within
them the germ of blasphemy.
