Second, Scripture is very clear that Adam and Eve were the first people. Genesis 10 records the table of nations. In that table there is no mention of hominids or ape men or pre-adamites.
If this is what you believe, then quite simply, you're left with an internally contradictory position as a young earth creationist.
Ignoring one part of scripture and grasping at another is not a solution, that's just cognitive dissonance.
Until you can actually address the scripture, as noted in details of my prior posts, you're left with a broken position.
The scripture I've laid out is as clear as day, and your YEC position contradicts the scripture. And that's all there is to it.
Here is a fine article on the topic:
First Human or First King? The Introduction of Adam in the Eden Narrative - Articles
And I'll just emphasize the prior point, ignoring one part of scripture and grasping at another is not a solution. Grasping at non canonical books such as the book of jubilee, or grasping at Paul's writings (which focus on the resurrection and actually have little to do with Genesis) is not a solution. That's just YEC cognitive dissonance. And as a Christian who also happens to be a professional geologist, I disagree that geology supports a young earth.
