  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Where was Eden?

But what do the drone cameras show that makes the Persian Gulf any more likely than some other place for the location of Eden?
This has to do with the four rivers that we read about in Gen 2:10. Moses is pretty accurate about the location of Eden. He even talks about Gold mines that are still there after all these thousands of years. Genesis 2:10–12 Moses was an Egyptian. They had a lot of Gold in Egypt at the time.

In that case we have come full circle to what I wrote in this thread on June 19th: "I don't think we can be too accurate in locating Eden, because the worldwide flood would have completely changed the geography of the world." That would have included the location of rivers.

I don't know where it was - the bible tells us a bout the 4 rivers, but the Flood could have changed their location tremendously.
Two of the rivers are dry so we can see where they were. There are videos about this on YouTube. People that actually go to all of these places that we read about in our Bible. Bruce Feiler wrote a book and did a PBS program about "Walking the Bible". He was trained as a journalist.

However dry they are, that doesn't show where they were before the worldwide Flood.
