*** I must be missing something, because I don't see how this contradicts evolution. According to modern science, the first humans were male and female.***
You missed the FROM THE BEGINNING part.
Humans were created in the beginning as male and female.
The were not created as blobs that, after several billion years, finally evolved into males and females.
They were male and female from the beginning. From the beginning of what? From the beginning of the world - not billions of years later.
You inserted that "from the beginning of the world." The Bible doesn't say that. Is that your direct link to God in action again?
No. First it was Adam and then the animals and then when God found out that the animals did not satisfy Adam, he said all is not good and put Adam into a deep sleep while God went back to the lab to revise his grand plan.
