Since 0.99999999... = 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ... = 1.0, I suppose a "god" of some sort could theoretically exist using a similar approach.

Imagine a "god of weather prediction".

If a predictive model for weather approaches 100% accuracy infinitely,
then it's essentially 100%.

Sometimes I wonder if the atom is also made up using the same concept.
I imagine an infinitely amount of subatomic particles being still generated,
each being slightly smaller to make an awesome whole atom.

I also imagine that a humanly god is possible if there's an infinite amount
of evolution (love) that makes the each generation of human kind even closer
to perfection. For us, that means that god is love.

lets take 1/3
1/3 × 3 = 1
What does 1/3 equal when converted from fractional to decimal?
It doesn't.
It always has a remainder, which lends to the fact there are always more 3's.
1/3 > 0.3
1/3 > 0.33
1/3 > 0.333
1/3 > 0.3333
1/3 > 0.33333
1/3 > 0.333333
1/3 > 0.3333333
...
1/3 > 0.333...

1÷3 does not strictly equate 0.333... in the same way 1÷4 strictly equates 0.25 or 1÷2 strictly equates 0.5
There is no strict equality of 1/3 in decimal notation. 1/3 is strictly greater than 0.333...

this lends proof to the following
[math]\frac{1}{3} > 0.\bar{3} \\ \big[ \frac{1}{3} × 3 \big] > \big[ 0.\bar{3} × 3 \big] \\ \frac{3}{3} > 0.\bar{9}[/math]

0.99 × 10 = 9.90
0.999 × 10 = 9.990
0.9999 × 10 = 9.9990
the amount of 9 elements remains the same, and everything is shifted to the left past the decimal by a tenth's decimal place.
0.999... × 10 doesn't equal 9.999...
What you're doing is going from infinite 9 elements in 0.999..., to infinity+1 9 elements in 9.999...
Instead of shifting the decimal over, you have instead invented an entirely new 9 out of thin air.
This is equivalent to saying
0.99 × 10 = 9.99
0.999 × 10 = 9.999

The concept of infinity is default invalid and cannot be justified in logicism. Any implement of infinity in math isn't coherent or logical. This includes the usage of ellipses and overlines with repeating decimals under the definition these symbols are intended to mean "infinitely", as well as ellipses used to brainlet series like [1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ...]
there is no constant or singular definition to the usage of infinity as a mathematical concept, and instead behaves as a fanfiction plot device to arbitrarily reach any particular outcome an author might wish via skipping and ignoring the work required to get there.

I have a math lesson for you.
there's two types of infinity.
countable infinity and uncountable infinity.

to count to positive infinity you can use integers if you prefer.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ...

Uncountable infinity is a type of infinity that you can't count.

there are an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1.
and 0 and 0.5
and 0 and 0.25.
and 0 and 0.1
and 0 and 0.01

You're divinely misattributing succession and iteration to "infinity".
Infinity is not required to sum as much as you want, and its acceptable to know that iterative summation will come to an end at some point. Labelling it with infinity doesn't defy or deny this fact that iterative summation will still come to an end at some point, so this label is nothing less than poor misdirection and deflection away from the fact that you're skipping NECESSARY work under the poor assumption it is trivial, arbitrary, and easily excludable via the usage of "et cetera" ellipses.

That's all the work required because it's an infinite summation.
It doesn't matter where you infinitely sum the numbers, all that matters is that the sum is still going.

(2 + 3 + 4 + ... ) is a fine example because it's an on-going summation.
using inductive reasoning one might read that expression as

"the sum from n = 2 to infinity of (n)".

A humanly god would just be god manifesting in this reality, into human beings or any physical medium capable of interaction with us. I BELIEVE that what defines god(infinity) would be common in any reality, as it is the only constant in the omniverse(infinity). So once you reach a certain threshold you become a medium for god("the infinite amount of evolution" as you called it), then shit happens and the cycle of god repeats, our own cycle will end though. As you are a byproduct of god's infinite activity you can't be infinite, but you can be a temporary medium for god to manifest itself. You and me are both products of god and potentially god, you and me are the same.

Evolution itself has moved partly under our control, so do you agree that we could aswell go the other way and become abominations or outright regress if certain -unspecified here- trends are followed compared to others?

Yes. You can't divide a water molecule without breaking it down to its elements.
If you want to keep the 3 parts equal, then each part will be 333 molecules, but you'll have one left over which is required to add to the total of the 3 parts in order to sum the original 1000 molecule baseline.
Throwing away the single 1 molecule in attempts of justifying that "it's too small so its basically nothing at all" is the brainlet mentality behind thinking there is no small value to add to 0.999... towards summing 1; and thay such a small value should just be considered as 0.

Its not 0. The leftover part is not insignificant towards exactness.
