I think it's safe to go ahead and say "not in the picture". If not then I ask
where exactly were they walking? That is unless you mean the creation of Earth
and are suggesting that man came from elsewhere (not my personal belief but I
could accept that argument).

I don't remember reading the "official" interpretation when I signed up. :)
You can say "the Baptist", "the Mormon" or the whatever interpretation, but
"the Christian" interpretation isn't really set in stone <ba dum bum>.

Perhaps it is because of your simple explanation, but you didn't, and I think
it's worth mentioning that some people believe that you are part of the family
whether you want to be or not (kinda like that crazy cousin earl we all
have). Choosing to accept it is not a universal Christian belief.
