God gets a bit sweaty and goes for a walk.

I wonder whether any fundamentalist, so-called "Bible-believing" Christians on Twitter could kindly put me out of my misery and explain the metaphysics of the following to me.

In Genesis 3:8, we are told that God went for a walk in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day. 

So those fundamentalist Christians who are somehow able to contort their rational faculties to believe that Adam, Eve, the Garden of Eden and the Serpent and all the rest of it were historical facts, and not symbolic, must believe that God was getting a bit sweaty and came down in incarnation for a stroll around the Garden.

So if He is invisible, He is clearly also capable of suddenly appearing in corporeal form on Earth for a little stroll when he feels a bit sweaty. Or if he is always corporeal, perhaps He is able to move between our dimension and another one where we cannot see Him.

And if He has a body, He must have created it Himself, or else it must have existed forever.

And if He always has and has always had a body, and flits with it between dimensions, then presumably it has existed forever, as God couldn't have created it before He existed to create it.

Oh, how I love living in the Middle Ages.
