We classify life based on our own human perception. We tend to personify concepts like God, i.e. using human/biological pronouns like "he" and visualize him as some giant bearded omnipotent dumbledore in the sky.
That is what we do because it is human nature to want to understand everything, even things well beyond our limited human perception.
Truth is there is so much to existence we could never hope to understand that we CAN see/perceive for ourselves. But who can really say how much is out there that we couldnt hope to perceive, let alone interact with. How many senses exist beyond our five? How much life, intelligent or otherwise could exist beyond the physical/biological?
Who is to say the earth itself is not our creator? That it is not a giant, intelligent sentient life form beyond our comprehension
? And we, and everything else, is just literal bacteria crawling around and living/feeding off of it? Floating in a fish tank called the universe, in some house in some greater plane of existence, where the people next door have their own fish tank universe? Looking down on us in utter bemusement of our arrogance and ignorance, all the while unaware they are all part of some even higher plane of existence's fish tank themselves, with this same dynamic repeating itself over and over in perpetuity?
