Why do we have a digestive system, sense organs, limbs and other attributes that would be useless to an immortal being??

God is spirit and so, too, are we. The thing is, we require physical bodies to exist on this Earth.

Considering the bible clearly states god is not an actual being. But rather a transcendent spiritual force. Genesis is contradictory to the rest of the bible.
So a bible believer believes that God looks like us but at the same time is just a spirit... WTF?

God appreciates beauty and likes to create. I don't think it's physical. It's spiritual. We like to make things that are aesthetic, and not just functional.
Colossians 1:15. Now, in reference here to Christ, it says, “Who is the image of the invisible God”—now, here comes the problem part to some people—“the firstborn of all creation.” Now, some would say that because Christ is called the “firstborn of all creation,” that He was the first one created; therefore, He is a created being. Therefore, He is less than God, and the cults love to come to this verse to prove that.
Well, let’s look at what it says. First of all, it calls Christ “the image of the invisible God.” Notice it doesn’t say “Christ is in the image of the invisible God;” it says “He is the image.” He is the image. If you want a clear understanding of that, all you have to do is go to Colossians 2:9 and Paul makes it very clear what he means: “for in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead in a body.” When it says He is the image of God, it means He is God in a body.

thats because early on the church thought it would be demeaning of being human if we worship something more primitive minded like an animal, so they wrote in the bible we were created in his image so therefore we have more of a connection to a god then anything else on this planet...either that or they misunderstood what an Alien race said when they told us that we were cloned from their gentics and prehistoric man

God is a spiritual being, not physically present in this world. When it says we were made in his image it means spiritually. This applies to our moral judgments, conscious, personality (anger, joy, ect.)
The point of the physical things is so that God can communicate to us and so that we can communicate with each other. We understand that he is the light of our souls because we know what light physically is..... We understand that His word in the bible is the bread of life because we know that we need food to live- just as spiritually we need Jesus to be spiritually alive and go to heaven.
