***They had been of two sexes for millions of years before that. So I don't see any contradiction of evolution in the quote you posted***
He said, "Have you not READ (reference to the written account) that from the BEGINNING (not several billion years after the beginning). Hard to miss his meaning.
***Scientists aren't looking for someone to pray to.***
We're not talking about "scientists" we are talking about you.

Really, well try these on for size...
The stars are too great in number to count
Genesis 15:5
Jeremiah 33:22 Hebrews 11:12
19th Century AD with the advent of powerful telescopes. Prior to this, most thought there were no more than 6,000 stars (what could be seen with the naked eye from all points on the earth). See this CNN report titled Star survey reaches 70 sextillion.
The Earth is shaped like a sphere (round) and rotates
Isaiah 40:22
Luke 17:34-36
Luke 17:34-36 depicts Christ's Second Coming as happening while some are asleep at night and others are working at day-time activities in the field, an indication of a rotating earth with day and night at the same time.You may be surprised to learn that the Bible revealed that the earth is round. Job 26:10, Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6. Today, we chuckle at the people of the fifteenth century who feared sailing because they thought they would fall over the edge of the flat earth. Yet the Bible revealed the truth in 1000 B.C. 2500 years before man discovered it for himself!
Earth floats freely

Circumcisions should be performed on the eighth day after birth
Genesis 17:12
According to the Old Testament (Genesis 17:12), circumcision of newborn males was to be performed on the eighth day after birth. Why the eighth day? In 1935 Professor H. dam proposed the name "vitamin K" for the factor in foods which helped prevent hemorrhaging in baby chicks. We now know that vitamin K is responsible for the production of prothrombin by the liver. If vitamin K is deficient, there will be a prothrombin deficiency and hemorrhaging may occur, since both vitamin K and prothrombin are necessary for proper blood clotting. Oddly enough, it is only on the 5th through the 7th days of the newborn male's life that vitamin K begins to be produced (the vitamin is normally produced by bacterial action in the intestinal tract). and it is only on day eight that the percentage of prothrombin climbs above 100% of normal! The only day in the entire life of the newborn that the blood clotting element prothrombin is that high is day eight. The best day for surgical procedure like circumcision is therefore day eight. (1)
Jews and Arabs
descendants of one man
Michael Hammer at the University of Arizona in Tucson and colleagues, some from Israeli universities, analysed 18 sections of the Y chromosomes from 1371 men. They came from 29 different populations, including seven Jewish (Ashkenazi (European), Roman, North African, Kurdish, Iraqi and Iranian, Yemenite and Ethiopian Jews), five Arabic (Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Israeli Druze and Saudis) and 16 non-Semitic groups. The close similarities within the Jewish Y-chromosomes, even from widely scattered populations, was compelling evidence that they all come from a common ancestor. The study also showed that Arabs are closely related to Jews.
Air has weight
Job 28-25
Entropy
Psalms.102:25-26
Isaiah 51:6
Hebrews 1:10-11
Rudolf (Julius Emanuel) Clausius formulated the Second Law of Thermodynamics in 1850.
All things are made up of sub-atomic particles that are invisible to the naked eye
Hebrews 11:3
The first sub-atomic particle to be discovered by modern science was the electron. It was first discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897.
Time had a beginning
1 Timothy 1-8-9
It's difficult to pin down precisely when modern science concluded that time had a beginning.
There are springs that arise from the ocean floor
Job 38:16
Mountains and deep valleys exist on the ocean floor
Jonah 2:5-6
The Challenger expedition (1873-1876) commenced the first scientific exploration of the ocean floor,during which a canyon 5 1/2 miles deep was discovered in the Pacific. (1)
"Paths of the sea"
Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered the father of oceanography. His wife was reading a portion of the Bible to him. While listening, he noticed the expression "paths of the sea" in Psalms 8:8. Upon his recovery, Maury took God at his word and went look ing for these paths. We are indebted to his discovery of the warm and cold continental currents. His book on oceanography is still considered a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities. Maury used the Bible as a guide to scientific discovery. If only more would use the Bible as a guide in their personal lives!
The Hydrologic Water Cycle
Revealed in the Bible: Job 36:27-28
The water cycle was not fully understood until about 30 B.C. by a Roman engineer named Marcus Vitruvius. Yet every aspect of the water cycle was fully revealed to mankind in 1600 B.C.! The Bible's description is in perfect harmony with modern science. Eccl 1:6-7; 11:3; Job 26:8; Amos 9:6. Vitruvius was 1600 years too late!
And the Torah exhibits a implicit knowlege of a bacteriological view of health and medicine with numerous rules about washing, quarintine and destruction of infected objects - utterly unknown inthe ancient near middle east and only discovered in Americal in the 18th century (and still not understood or parcticed in 3rd world countries today)
***Religion is a wonderful thing, until you start to believe that it is the only thing.***
Jesus said,
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Sounds like Jesus claims he is the ONLY way.
But he never claimed that the Bible was the only book that one should read, nor did he ever claim that he was the only source of information on the natural world.
