I think part of the problem in understanding what I am saying is that you have a way of putting together these verses that I do not use, so when I give an aspect of what I believe, you do not know where to fit it in your schema, but I am not using your schema. I do not think you are a dim wit, quite the contrary.

I will back up and be more basic.

Here are the pericope starts, see if you agree, you do not need to agree with my titles, just the start of each pericope. If you disagree, tell me where.
Gen 1 – Creation hymn
Gen 2:4 – 2 problems, 2 solutions
Gen 3 – Sins and consequences
Gen 4 – Murder and consequences
Gen 5 – Human descent

I claim the 3 origins stories start with Gen 1, Gen 2:4 and Gen 5. Do you agree with this?

Do you see that one of the problems being address in the first origins story is too much water and in the 2nd is not enough water?
