"Are there people who believe in both a Mr. God and a Mrs. God?"
The ancient Israelites did. It was believed that Yahweh had a wife named Ashtoreth, also known as the queen of heaven. Some even believed that the Babylon captivity happened as a result of banning her worship:
"But from the time we stopped making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her, we have lacked everything and have perished by the sword and by famine.” - Jeremiah 44:18
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
