So many Christians have assumed that the original garden was located somewhere in the region of Mesopotamia (in the vicinity of present-day Iraq) where flowing rivers Tigris and Euphrates. However, the Bible records a devastating worldwide Flood, many centuries after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden. Sedimentary strata, some of kilometers thick, are mute testimony to this massive watery convulsion, which tear and buried the pre-Flood world forever. After the Flood, the survivors (Noah's family) moved to the plain of Shinar (Sumeria / Babylon), which is where we find rivers today called Tigris and Euphrates. These are therefore not the same rivers. They run on top of the layers deposited by the flood, silt stone containing billions of dead things (dead by the Flood). The name these rivers probably were taken from the original pre-Flood rivers, in the same way as the settlers of the British Isles applied familiar names to many places in his "new world" in America and South Asia. The Garden was destroyed by the flood. Your real location on the globe can never be established. Editor's Note: If the idea of a global catastrophic flood is new to you, we suggest you read the following material presents some Biblical and scientific evidence on it.
