I have a few queries.
1. If this God is outside space (whatever that might mean) how is he present? (I hope no thesist give me answer like 'he is present through our faith and devotion to him'. If someone says that I think i'll buy a gun. But not to shoot myself 😀).
2) What does it mean for a God to be causally linked with space? How does a non- physical substance interact with a physical substance?

I suppose the answer really depends on ones faith.
I can never be certain that any reality is true and hence, I find the question of God's existence meaningless. It just seems to me that any extrapolation of God's ability (i.e. to change the laws of nature) is absurd.

For one, He can take on the form. For two, He can dip His finger in the water.
