Our understanding of our own physical, 3-dimensional world cannot explain, prove, or disprove the existence of God, a being that lives in a world of higher dimensions (outside time).

Our 3 dimensional world? Perhaps thats why we dont agree on things, you live in some weird 3 dimensional universe while me and everyone else is living in 'this' 4 dimensional universe (width, depth, height, time). Unlike the people in your universe, the people in our universe have a grasp on higher dimension. Just look into fifth dimensional mathematics.
I'd like to know what dimension you think God is living in.

There are three diminsions that we have the ability to traverse in any direction at will, those are the SPATIAL dimensions I was referring to. Obviously, we live in time, but we don't have the ability to move through time in any direction we wish, so I did not include time as a dimension in my statement.
I can't say what dimension God is living in, because it is impossible for me to understand this dimension from my perspective. That would be like trying to imiagine a color I have never seen. The spectrum of colors visible to me extend through a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other colors exist (if we could percieve infrared, ultraviolet, etc, our perception of color would be very different). In the same way I can't imagine or explain a color I've never seen, I can't really explain a dimension I've never experienced.
I would say that God lives in a timeless dimension that is not affected by entropy or the limits of physical matter. We see time as a person viewing a parade through a hole in the fence, God sees time as the camera crew in the Blimp above the parade. That's just an analogy from how I think it would be, I can't possibly describe what the particulars of this dimension, as I can only make definite statements from my own experiences.
My faith in God does not come from understanding or rationalizing Him, but from experiencing Him, and this is something you simply can't relate to (like I said, it's very difficult to imagine or understand anything outside of one's personal reality). I really hope that someday you encounter Him for yourself, because it really changes everything, but until that time, we pretty much have to agree to disagree.
