There was no written or organized religion 200,000 years ago. And when the sun runs out of energy and collapses or expands, and fries our solar system, all life on earth will die. But that will be billions of years from now. But long before even that happens, humans as a species will be long gone, just like the dinosaurs. That is not being fatalistic. Even after my blip of a life ends, I'd like to think my species can extend it's ride as long as possible. But there still in the end is no utopia or afterlife.
I don't care if people want to argue that Angels are solely male or female or both, it is still a projection of human desires in comic book form.
I guess you are an atheist and so am I.
It is abundantly clear to me that all religions are man made. I think the only difference between religion and mythology is that religion is believed and practiced by live humans while a mythology use to be a religion. That’s a case of evolution of religion, survival of the best fit (cylinder fits into round hole, fitting into circumstances) religion.

4.9 billion y into the future.
The age of the Sun is 4.7 billion.
But it is still fun to talk about these religions.
For example, there doesn’t seem to be much detail about angels in the Bible but we still have to keep in mind that the jewish god made Adam first.
Is that just some accident? Did the genderless god just flip a coin and randomly chose to make a male first? Or maybe the jewish god is male and there are some female gods that the Bible doesn’t mention? Maybe the jewish god considers himself, the male, the superior gender.
If we are going to just claim for no reason that angels are genderless, then I could claim Adam and Eve aren’t humans. Perhaps they are hermaphrodites and something entirely new. They weren’t mammals, they weren’t fish, not birds, not reptiles, ...
I know that. I was talking about how much time our sun has left, and it seems to be an estimated 5.5 billion years until it runs out of fuel. But just like our planet has had 5 mass extinction events so far, it will have a few more before all life dies in that future time period. It is highly unlikely humans will exist that far out.
