Think of an extra dimension, one we cannot move along as we can in out 
familiar three dimensions or even the quasi-dimension called time that 
is part of the space-time continuum.  If God is separated from us along 
that extra dimensional axis then God can be everywhere and nowhere.  The 
Incarnation is when God chose to become visibly present on our plane 
rather than entirely separated along that extra dimension.
