He, as in meaning the christian god, I'm 99 percent sure, he doesn't exist. His existence just doesn't compute with what we know about the world and the universe. If you're talking about some higher, neutral and not humanocentric intelligence, noone can rule that out.
Many ancient considerations of God were of a male and female nature in divine/sexual union.

Yeah, we can say for certain that that character doesn't exist.
Interesting how a "Day" is described, "an evening and morning"...relatively this describes a falling and a rising of light.
In the terminology of that time a "day" can also mean a space/span of time like a aeon (a very long age of time with definite beginning and end), or a whole realm unto itself.
Nearly all the old colorful "religious/legendary" language was metaphor and allegory. Symbols people were familiar with to point to things and processes beyond our scale of interaction.
