I thought it was Jackson County, Missouri : )
Just joking.
I don't believe Iraq is one of the suspected places for Eden.
Perhaps Iran, Turkey.

the world did not have nations or borders when God made Eden. And the exact location may not be in Iraq, but could be, remember there was a flood, and all rivers mentioned in Eden in the Bible may not be the same rivers today, since the whole earth changed shape after the flood.

I have no idea why God chose the location he did for the Garden of Eden. No one knows the exact location since it mentions one river that we have no idea where it is located.
Iraq did not exist when God created the Garden.
Personally, I do not see the Garden as a literal place but more a metaphorical place.

the borders of IRaq was not formed yet IF it WAS in that region. It was probably in mesopitamia though and not iraq. ALso eden may never have existed at all and it's just a decently clever metaphor for something else and to explain original sin.

there have been such extremely some theories or "discoveries" related to the authentic region of the backyard of Eden yet no you may certify that the region has been precisely got here across. i do no longer think of God could have somebody to in all danger detect the region, even via accident. we can purely comprehend the fact whilst the time comes.

The garden of eden was in Egypt Biblically, not Iraq, based on geographical descriptions.

He didn't.
It's in America.
That's actually why it is God's Blessed land!
Remember, Adam was driven out of it to dwell elsewhere.
These are truths that have been hidden from the world, so they would not desecrate God's holies.
What ever gave you the idea of Iraq??

Who knows, this is about the time Christians start refusing to believe this portion of the story, as well.
They hate truth, even when it's about their own religion

Because God loves irony. (See eternal torment/loving God)
