Monkey man/evolved man is what was found outside the garden/was allowed to evolve, and never did the two meet till the fall.

My account seperates the creation account by pointing out that everything in Genesis/creation seems to be from a central garden POV. Everything outside of that garden (which was made to resemble evolved earth at the time of the fall to ease the transition from the garden to the natural world)

So basically everything the bible points to happens in the Garden world (which again is about 2/3 of the size of North America according to some speculations) and evolution would have occoured outside the garden however you like.

Y'know, for someone so serious about what the bible really means when anyone else talks about it, you sure are happy to bandy about "the bible doesn't say this didn't happen!" as an argument when it's in service of your own positions.

Hey! Maybe the garden was actually up in space, and it descended to earth to let Adam and Eve off, before rising back up on wires! The bible doesn't say it didn't happen, therefore it's equally as possible as what you're saying. Bible fan fiction is easy, but it's also not compelling: you can make up anything, so long as your only criteria for plausibility is that it isn't explicitly denied in canon.
