If you truly believe that God does not obsess over our physical bodies, then why are you so obsessed with believing that the story of Genesis is literal? Why should it matter that we evolved, if our physical form is so unimportant?

God elected Moses to Write down, what John calls the Word is God. Moses lays out an outline of events that is Christ's story. Other elected prophets give a different perspective on what took place since Genesis 1:1. My very simplistic description is the Word is like a prism with one single light source that gives a multidimensional picture of time, places, and peoples as they took their flesh journey. I call it simplistic, because, I know that I cannot fully comprehend the enormity of the Creator and His perfection.

In other words, you can provide no cogent reason to believe that a metaphorical story somehow describes the physical world better than the description given by those who devote their lives to observing the physical world. Nor can you provide any compelling spiritual reason that we shouldn't just accept the world as being exactly what it seems: an old planet in an ancient universe, where life has existed and changed during billions of years.
