If you believe in a “father in heaven” for God, then my question (poll) is this:
Does he come to earth?

Imho, God, our genetic code's creator or Father from heaven as you have designated, probably has/have never made direct contact with any of us Earthling humans; the vast distances between star systems and enormous amount of energy would be too much for a massive biological being to travel near light speed over interstellar travel distances in order to get from God's planetary system of origin to our planet Earth. God, our genetic Code's Creator, might have sealed our genetic code inside a light powered sail that was then launched from around God's home planet to Earth.
So God is both biological AND massive? I suppose if he was massive enough he could simply reach from one star system to another. ??
As a multi cellular organism travels faster, its mass increases. Eventually, as matter approaches an appreciable fraction of the speed of light, most of the energy to propel the entity will be expended in increasing the mass of the traveler instead of accelerating its speed. This means that the speed of light is a universal speed limit which nothing of mass could even come anywhere near close to approaching. Because of the vastness of space between solar systems and the fact that a multi cellular organism can't accelerate to anywhere near the speed of light, I believe that interstellar space travel is impossible. Therefore, I believe humans never had any interaction with extraterrestrial beings nor will ever come into contact with any extraterrestrial beings.
I hate getting off the subject, but I must disagree.
I saw on Star Trek, that people can travel faster than light.
It’s called Warp speed.

No. It is not possible for the earth to contain him according to the Bible.
At 1 Kings 8:27 Solomon wrote...
27 “But will God really dwell on the earth? Look! The heavens, yes, the heaven of the heavens, cannot contain you; how much less, then, this house that I have built!"
Why would he need to? He sees all and knows whatever he chooses to know about everything. He has servants to carry out his will, all of whom are equipped with the power that he grants to them, whether in physical form or spiritual.
Jesus called his Father "my God" even after his return to heaven.
He taught us to pray to the Father who was in heaven. So why would we have difficulty identifying with God as a "father figure"?
I like that mental image.
Ok, so then what about Psalm 27:8?
David seeks the Lord’s face, which equates to his presence.
Also Matthew 7:7?
Ask, seek, knock? Are we to find nothingness when the door is opened?
And Revelation 3:20? The Lord wants to come in and dine with us.
So how is it possible to think God cannot come to earth?
He came to earth to give the ten commandments to His people. He descended upon Mount Sinai.If you believe in a “father in heaven” for God, then my question (poll) is this:
