the scripture is filled to overflowing with instances of God, who is spirit, interacting with physical reality. not only God but His messengers and also Satan and his demons. all without being made flesh or otherwise tangible / physical
how did Satan fall?
what is his sin?
where was he when sin was found in him? did Michael & his angels cast him out of heaven while he was sinless?
what's Satan made out of? is he flesh? is he spirit? what was he made out of when sin was found in him?
not only that, but as has been pointed out since page 1, God made all of creation ((which happens to be physical)) and called it very good. how does God call sin very good?
@pittsburghjoe before you say 'all creation was uncollapsed wave function until sin' let me point out that God put the sun and moon in the sky as clocks, to determine days and months and seasons and years. if they are unobserved/uncollapsed, then they have no locality - so how do you tell time with them? how does He set them in a location in the sky if they have no location or existence, only being abstract constructs in a probability space? how do we tell time by them without observing them, since observation collapses wave functions?
i find that untenable, Joe.

Adam was created without sin and he was made of dust.
spirit was added to him and he became a living soul.
man has spiritual and physical components. we're not 'only one' and not the other. we who believe will be bodily resurrected just as Christ was. we'll be able to eat fish and drink wine. to touch and feel. we were created to have physical and spiritual components, and in the resurrection when we are perfected in Him we will continue to have physical and spiritual components.
i think Christ's resurrection throws an enormous wrench in your theology, don't you?
