Is there really a GARDEN of EDEN?

Answer 1

Not now there isn't and possibly never was. But it is believed that the Biblical Garden of Eden was some where between North Iraq South Turkey and modern day Iran (Assyia)

Book of Genesis is actually quite specific regarding the location of the garden of Eden:

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison...And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. -- (Genesis 2:10-14)

Tigris and Euphrates rivers are easy to explain but has for Pison and Gihon they are not so easy.

Some even claim that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri, USA.

There have been many suggestions of where the Garden of Eden was. But the logical conculsion is, if it did exist it is roughly in the area I mentioned above. But like most people here I believe it to be a myth, so it may never have actually existed.

Answer 2

I think there is a place that we cannot go to, kind of like the Bermuda Triangle? What if the Garden of Eden was there. But in my own opinion and beliefs I'll have to say YES there is a Garden of Eden somewhere in this world. I mean, think about it. The Garden of Eden is the birthplace for all living things, wether you believe in it or not there is a place somewhere on this Earth where the living was created. If you want to call it Garden of Eden, then do so. But in the Holy Bible the birthplace is called the Garden of Eden and that's where all living creatures were created and that's where we are banned from. Think of one place on God's green Earth where no one has gone to, and there you might find the Garden of Eden! Who knows, it could be under sea like Atlantis. Whatever your beliefs are you have to approach the unknown with an open mind.

Answer 3

According to the bible yes. Geographers and religious students have made several attempts to trace a real Garden and concluded that it lay somewhere in Mesopotamia. to be that green it would have had to have a good supply of water and the most likely candidate is the Euphrates. However if you believe in Genesis then the assumption that the Garden of Eden had to be in any specific location is wrong, for if God is all powerful, the garden may have been sited anywhere upon a land mass.

Answer 4

According to the Internet and a certain group of religious people there is. One even said that it had been located from space but man couldn't get to it. How typical is that for a religious answer. The religious people (i'm not naming names as they have the habit of reporting people and getting violation emails sent out) say that if you follow the word of you know who and do what a certain book tells you to do. Then you will have the Garden of Eden as your reward when it's judgement day.

Personally, I think that it's a load of rubbish and it was an empty promise to keep them going to church. They have also been told that they will burn in the fires of hell if they don't follow the rules.

Answer 5

answer: the only element the Bible tells us relating to the backyard of Eden’s region is modern-day in Genesis 2:10-14, “A river watering the backyard flowed from Eden; from there it became into separated into 4 headwaters. The call of the 1st is the Pishon; it winds for the duration of the completed land of Havilah, the place there is gold…The call of the 2d river is the Gihon; it winds for the duration of the completed land of Cush. The call of the third river is the Tigris; it runs alongside the east edge of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” the precise identities of the Pishon and Havilah rivers is unknown, however the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are properly oftentimes used. If the Tigris and Euphrates suggested are the same rivers by using those names on the instant, that would placed the backyard of Eden someplace interior the midsection East, in all likelihood in Iraq. It can't be mere accident that the midsection East region is the place the planet became into maximum lush—the placement the place the backyard of Eden became into placed. If oil is, as maximum scientists have confidence, broadly speaking decayed flora and animal rely that has decomposed, then that's the section the place we'd assume the terrific deposits of the substance we call oil. because of the fact the backyard became into the epitome of perfection, it stands to reason that the decomposition of the earth’s maximum suited and plush organic and organic components might produce huge shops of the earth’s terrific oil. human beings have sought for the backyard of Eden for hundreds of years to no avail. there are fairly some places that human beings declare to be the unique region of the backyard of Eden, yet we are in a position to't make specific. What happened to the backyard of Eden? The Bible does not specially say. that's in all likelihood that the backyard of Eden became into thoroughly destroyed interior the Flood or that it lies decomposing into oil buried under centuries of sand deposits.

Answer 6

I think it would be destroyed by now. Also there is a song called The Garden of Eden.

Answer 7

No. I believe that the Garden of Eden is symbolic of the time before we were consious human beings. It symbolises the time before we evovled into modern human beings. The time before we were able to imagine, create and develop. But also the time before we were able to destroy, torture and murder. When we became what we are today, God could no longer make decisions for us. We have to make our own decisions and make our own way in life. Maybe when we die, if we have remained good and holy throughout our lives, then, and only then, the Garden of Eden will be opened for us once more.

Answer 8

The garden of Eden is a metaphor for a state of mind / being when we were said to be ignorant and enjoying the fruits (pleasures) of the world until we gained knowldge after eating a particular fruit (probably a hallucinagen) and thus becoming self-aware. Much text from that period is symbolic rather than literal.

Answer 9

There is no evidence of any kind to indicate that there ever was any such thing.
In fact, if you take the timeline of the bible as to when the garden of eden was supposed to have existed, and compare it to actual history, you'll find that there were already villages and cities with thousands of people in them, happily living their lives, raising crops, making tools, and leaving lots of remains for achaeologists to find when the bible says there was only adam and eve in the "garden." There is no evidence of any kind supporting the existence of such a place, there is a ton of evidence showing that no such place ever existed. It's nothing but another "creation myth", similar to creation myths in many cultures, all of which have no evidence behind them.

Answer 10

There are a few gardens in Eden, VT.
