Common sense, Drippy. Something that you are painfully lacking in, unfortunately.
Their was no time line mentioned or implied in the bible between the end of 7th day of creation and the fall of man/expulsion from the garden? that would make the majority of the genesis account, an accounting of the Garden 'preserve'/Eden rather than the whole planet. God created the garden (estimated to be the size of 2/3 of north America given the 4 rivers it mentions,) to reflect the evolutionary progress of the world at the time of the fall of man. allowing everything outside the Garden to develop on its own evolutionary track. Which means the 6000 or so years the geologies that count back to Adam and Eve only accounts for the time "Man made in the image of God/Man with a soul" existed outside the Garden. Meaning it has only been 6000 years since the fall.
This would account for everything that YEC can not explain without pointing to incest.
Evolved man... "Monkey man" is man without a soul. He is the one who built the cities mentioned in Genesis that Cain fled to, and monkey man was also the genetic stock that provided husband and wives for the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.
The problem with your brand of 'common sense' is that it requires one to not think or examine what is and is not said in the bible, but only rely on the traditional view of the Creation account. One that can not stand up to scrutiny. The Creation view I provided not only stands up to full biblical scrutiny, it also encompasses any and everything 'science' can throw at it. (Many here and other places have tried, and fallen short.) I can provide links to some of the discussions that explain everything in detail if you like.
