I don't know but I don't think so. I think God IS the laws of physics and logic. I think God is ALL, so he doesnt' need to follow His own laws.

Yes, God follows the laws of physics and logic. He made them, he follows them.
Could he break them? Well, yes, but I am afraid that he might have to obliterate the current universe to behave in a manner contrary to the allowable laws which He created.
Do I insist my answers to your questions are correct? Of course not. No one really knows the anwsers to these questions.
It is fun speculating, though, isn't it?

Yes, God is bound by his own laws and theories! The creator of all is also bound by law! Once the world famous scientist 'Albert Einstein' said, " God doesn't play dice with Nature." We know that on the dice board, it is only the chance that counts but intellect is least! But this doesn't happen in our Universe. Every incident is inter-linked by the law of Nature, i.e. God's law. Thanks.

God is the source of all authority. Although He created all things and principles on it. I think He knows His boundaries. And since God is Almighty, He never stop showering His creation of mercy and love if it's needed-- this is called miracles (these are events beyond the laws of nature or impossible for man to do/ comprehend).
In Job 26:7 (Old Testament Bible) it stated there: "He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; He suspends the earth over nothing."-- is this covered the law of physics?
And in 1 Kings 3:12-13 (Old Testament Bible) God responded regarding King Solomon's request: "I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be." 2 Kings 4:29 -"God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as sand on the seashore." Is it logical? A king asked for wisdom and God gave him because kings should use this to administer/ govern his people.

I believe that God is bound only to what He has deemed He needs to be bound to.
The laws of "physics" and "logic" (as we call them) may not be even part of God's vocabulary, because (as He says in Isaiah) "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways". In other words, God's knowledge, wisdom, etc. is so far advanced than our own; thus He is working with things we may not even have been introduced to yet! Maybe the laws of "physics" and "logic" as we understand them here on Earth are altogether different once we get out into the nether reaches of the Universe...who knows what laws are governing out there? We're still trying to explain what black holes, quasars, etc. really are! Perhaps there's a whole new set of rules governing out there!
Good luck! Tough question!

I think that He does follow the laws of physics and logic for the most part, but that He doesn't have to. Considering that He created them, He is not bound by them. Just like He created time, but He is not bound by it. It belongs to Him, in a sense and He can do what He wants with it.

This is a very thought-provoking question. I understand the laws of Physics but I am confused about the laws of logic.
According to the dictionary, logic is "a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of interference and demonstration".
Perhaps our own minds are not yet advanced enough to deal with "higher" levels of logistics that may exist? I am not saying one way or the other because I dont know...it's just an interesting concept to ponder. :)
