Metaphysical gender duality is not metaphorically necessary

Metaphysical gender duality is not metaphorically necessary, as with Prakriti and Perusha in Hinduism, or Shechinah and El-Shaddai in Judaism, because gender differentiation happens long after the Primary Material creation of life from atoms to metabolism to genes to gender, and so on.

It is true that in the Revealed Religions most dualities end in the One, like Brahma or Ain-Soph, and the One then "emanates" everything from It and back to It, but in the philosophy and cosmogony of the Theoevolutionary Church Godhood is arrived at through ages-long evolution, and life is created in the Primary Material, not unlike science has suggested, then life evolves to the complex world, ending in the zenith of Godhood, which science has not yet suggested.

This also avoids the awkward notions of an “androgynous” God developed it seems to resolve the metaphysical male-female and spiritual-material dualism. The Spirit-Will within matter which activates life need not be considered “male,” and matter need not be “female.” The Spirit-Will activates within all matter, just as the heart is not separate from the body.  Evolution then shapes life, with some life attaining Godhood, and some life starting over again in the Primal Material, activated by the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood.
