God created Adam and Eve to care for His creation, populate the planet, and have a relationship with Him. In terms of the theological questions of how God could do this, one answer could be that it is an embodied pre-incarnate Christ, the Angel of the Lord, who is himself the Lord and who appears many times in the Old Testament. If he was just manifesting himself in a strong wind, there would be no need to use the word walking. Although I agree, you simply cannot prove this one way or another, however I believe the scripture gives us enough evidence to assume with confadence, that Jesus did take a physical form and did actually, literally walk through the garden.
