If you start with the assumption (like I do) that God is a rational being, then it follows that we as humans and any other beings out there with cognition "think" in the same rational manner that he does. When you look at it, humans can do everything (miracles aside) that the Bible says God can do - from the range of emotions, to creating and destroying. it's really just a matter of what scale we're talking about. hence why it is said that God made us in his image.

as far as sport's comment on God being static. i disagree. God is perfect so his RULES are static, just like the natural laws that govern the universe are static and unchanging. But the universe is changing every single moment. Change is one of the few constants in the universe, it permeates down to our everyday lives. So to say that God is static when the universe he created and everything in it is dynamic doesn't make sense to me. God has to be dynamic because his creation is dynamic. Even the very act of God creating a universe to begin with implies change (from God existing as a singular unity -> God+universe+everything in it).
