Common sense (or more correctly what you've called common sense) vs evidence, hmn, what to choose what to choose. People have created stories to explain the simple observation that people speak different languages (people have created stories about almost anything you care to imagine, actually). Simple explanations. You seem to have ignored the glaring differences in those stories (even though you took the time to copy paste them) because you'd like to focus on that single commonality amidst the sea of disparities. Read those stories again, chalk up the the differences and the similarities. Then take a look at the tally. A question you should be asking yourself is "why are these stories so different if they're all trying to describe the same event, which actually happened" Again, simple answer, they're not. You simply interpret them that way because you've decided that it is so. Bias. This is akin to claiming that all stories with the sentence "and then god spoke" or "it then came to pass" are actually the same story.
Many myths have similarities, I don't argue against that. Again, it's the conclusions that you draw from this that flirt with absurdity (or just downright kiss it on the mouth).
