And the two timelines... I don't get what you're saying... Kal came to earth at age 4, presumably not too long ago, but that doesn't mean that Lex/Tempus took him from the ship. I'd guess that they didn't get to him until he'd been there several days and that's how he knew about apple pie and that his name is Clark.
Yes, that's what I'm going for. Clark came to earth at ~4 years old, spent a little time with the Kents, and then got abducted. I think the source of confusion is that on the show, Tempus came for infant Clark right when he landed.
