Why is God alive?

God does not meet the criteria or definition for life, neither in science or philosophy.

What Is Life? | Issue 101 | Philosophy Now

So what is it then that makes God alive?

God cannot speak talk reproduce or interact in any direct tangible way, it's hopelessly locked away in people's minds to where a person needs to act as a proxy on behalf of God. In another word, playing entirely as the voice, hand, and ears of God.

So what is the demonstrable quality attributable to God alone, as being alive, communicable, and Interactive when the definition of life does not apply?

The mind gives life to God. A lot of folks can't distinguish between what in their head and reality. What happens in your head need not follow any rules. You can give life to a stone or make a donkey talk.

People think if they imagined God, they would know of this effort to imagine. 95% of what's going on in a person's head they have no knowledge of.

The trouble with this is that God is not made out of energy. He created energy. We should not apply conditions to the existence of a creature to God. God just is, and can't be described.One shouldn't even call God alive because that makes Him a creature.
So --- really, the only thing you can actually say about God is that "he is." In other words, especially since "he can't be described," you know absolutely zero about him but his gender and existence. Correct?

The first thing is why would God be subjected to definitions as defined by lower entities than Himself? I'm thinking that as a truly sovereign Being; He would not accept the opinions of His own creatures as to if He meets the criteria for life or not. In medieval times for example a king would not be judged by any but his "peers" and that went for other nobles in medieval times. They refused to be judged except by peers.

As the "only God" and "Most High God" He would have no "peers" so I hypothesize that He alone could determine the criteria for Life and whether He met that criteria or not.

God would have to meet the minimum standards for life in order to be recognized as alive. Otherwise if not meeting standards and definitions of life, why is God considered alive then?

Who is recognizing though? That's my question.
