The Correct Answer Is: TRUE

Psalms 139:7-12: "⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your presence?  ⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.  ⁹ If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, ¹⁰ Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.  ¹¹ If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me,"  Even the night shall be light about me; ¹² Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You."

For the God of the Bible to truly be the Creator God of this universe, he must be present everywhere.  This does not mean that God is in rocks and trees, that he is in planets and stars, but that he is present everywhere: meaning that he sees everything.  Seeing everything, and being everywhere of course is part of knowing all things.  If God was simply a being living in our universe, subject to its laws, this would be impossible, for we know that someone cannot be in two places at the same time.  However, God is in Heaven, a location that is outside of this universe and not subject to its laws.  God can therefore be everywhere and see everything that goes on.  There isn't a place I can go on this earth or in this universe to flee from the presence of God.  I cannot even die to escape his presence, for God is in care of my spirit, even after death.  And while that can be terrifying if we are practicing evil, for God will be able to justly judge us based on our actions, if we are doing right, God's presence should be a comfort, for even when things get bad, behold God hasn't abandoned us: He is there and can protect us.  The God of the Bible is present everywhere.
