Your evolution + literal Garden theory implies that God *planned* to throw humanity out of the Garden. For A&E to successfully mate with "monkey man", they would of had to enter the real world at a *specific* point in time when "monkey man" was genetically compatible. Assuming that God isn't 100% incapable of creating something that fails, he must have timed the entire ordeal so that humanity wouldn't die out with A&E (via inbreeding) but instead gave them the opportunity to populate earth by mating with monkey men.
It really doesn't matter how you slice this Christianity deal. Moral of the story: God is evil.
