"Seriously though, do you honestly believe Almighty God has a corporeal body? "

You are being too literal here. It shows a strong streak of materialism in you. If one were to take it too literally one would have to say that all men would look the same. I would say that appearances are ephemeral. What is meant is much more profound than that.

Just from a theological/crevo prespective, I don't think you want to go around accusing others of being TOO LITERALIST in their biblical interpretations. And you may want to avoid citing observed evidence to support those arguments...

I believe the Creator made us in His image. By this I mean our ability to think and how we do it, our emotions, everything that gives us our individual personalities. I do not believe He has a physical body...but our essence, all that makes us who we are, has come from Him. And most likely these are the thoughts which allow me to embrace evolution. The physical evolved, while humanity was bestowed on us at some point in the distant past. I am unconcerned with the "when", but very satisfied to know that He did.
