There are fundamental Constraints on the universe. You probably know the most famous on, the speed of light. try as you might you cannot get something over the speed of light, the reasons are a little complex, but in essence whatever you are "pushing" trying o get faster, will actually gain mass as you do it (making your "push" less effective) and time for that object will slow down, and space as that object would see it, expands. This was essentially Einstein's genius, was coming up with the way this worked. Other things are fundamentally limited too, for instance we can only know where and how fast an object is to a certain tolerance, most notable when dealing with small objects. any attempts to figure one out exactly are doomed to failure and mess up the other value so incredibly completely that we lose hold of the thing entirely. But god by definition is limitless...

So then how do the physics of such a thing work? physics as we know it is constrained, but god is not. What happens to the physics of a situation that is subject to god's unlimited nature? For instance in the above, by creating something infinitely massive, you essentially destroy space-time. By going faster than the speed of light you can manage to violate causality, by disobeying quantum effects... well actually the universe makes more sense doing that but a great deal of technology would fail. More food for thought.
