Theism generally holds that God exists realistically, objectively, and independently of Human thought; that God created and sustains everything.

That God is omnipotent and eternal; and that God is personal and interacting with the universe through, for example, religious experience and the prayers of Humans.

Theism holds that God is both transcendent and immanent; thus, God is simultaneously infinite and, in some way, present in the affairs of the World.

Most theists hold that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, although this belief raises questions about God‘s responsibility for evil and suffering in the world.
