"I'm beginning to be afraid my spirit is a little too earthy for this thread, though. I've nothing against the abstract, but I have trouble seeing it as much more than an amusing toy "

You're a blind man trying to explain the colors of the rainbow to people with sight.
There is nothing more earthy than the divine Son of god taken on human nature and wallking among men. The Gospels are very earthy eyewitness accounts of the reality of God's soujourn among men. He lived, cried, suffered, was tempted in all ways as we are, but maintained his purity and divinty. He exchanged his divine-human perfection on the Cross for man's sin and degeneracy. He took upon himself the sins and darkness of every single human being and offers in return his perfect righteousness. That's what you call earthiness mixed with divinity! That's what the Incaranation was all about.

I'm not at my computer right now, but when I get a chance I will send you St. Athanasius's Incaranation. He does a much better job of explaining how earthiness was mixed with divinity when the divine Jesus became man.
