I was pondering this question all day. How fast does god go? Is it like light's speed, a constant? Or does it vary depending on various factors? And what mode of transportation does god use? If He just transported instantly, there wouldn't be such a thing as god's speed. We wouldn't wish someone infinite speed, because then they'd be back instantly, before we actually want them back.

So therefore, god's speed must be some real number. And then we can conclude that He uses a type of transportation, but what is it? Trains seem a bit old school for the heavenly father, and are rather limiting. He'd never get to help out the people in remote areas without train tracks. Boats would never allow him to get inland. I guess he may use a combination of the two.

Or God could travel pretty quickly using an airplane, but it's a bit too close to home for him. I'd imagine he would want to get out a bit. Cars don't go nearly as fast. However, he wouldn't have to follow the speed limit; he's God! He could probably get going a good 130 if he really gunned it. Buses are similar to cars, but I doubt God would care about protecting the environment that He created. So maybe a huge Hummer with hydrolics, a dashboard jesus, and a bumper sticker reading "I am YOUR co-pilot" would be His kind of vehicle.

But of course, I can't come to a conclusion about his mode of transportation. And He probably created His own form of transportation, after all, He is God.

Can anyone help me out on this?

Etymology: Middle English god speid, from the phrase God spede you God prosper you.

It's very possible that "speed" is God's speed isn't a verb, but a noun. I'm not sure what it'd be then but I'm guessing it's in the form of wafers or manna.

It's also a verb.

And the word is Godspeed (noun).
