But I have been trying - that's why I've gone through your post, quoting it and asking questions instead of ignoring it.

I know, thanks for this :)

Androgynous.
There's no such thing; we are born male or female.
Some are born disabled. We all have different fingerprints and faces. We all have one foot slightly bigger than the other.
How does all this sit with your theory of the human body resembling the earth? Not to mention that half the "facts" you quoted before, were wrong.

Was the Garden of Eden at the North Pole?
Read Genesis 2 instead of conspiracy theorists. A river that flowed from Eden was separated into 4 headwaters; one of these was the Euphrates." Genesis 2:14.
How close is the Euphrates to the North Pole?

I think so yes,
In the Garden there flowed 4 rivers;

…11The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there. 13The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates

That doesn't answer my question. How close to the North Pole is the Euphrates?
Of the rivers listed, the Euphrates is the only one, I think, that we still have. It can be measured. How long is it and how close to the North Pole?

So you seem to believe that the Euphrates, Gihon etc. were moved from the Middle East to the North Pole?

One of the rivers that flowed from the north pole was the Euphrates.

One of the rivers which flowed from Eden was the Euphrates, Genesis 2:14. From there it split into 4 headwaters; one of which was the Euphrates.
Is the start, or end, of the Euphrates anywhere near the North Pole?
Euphrates River, river, Middle East. The longest river in southwest Asia, it is 1,740 miles (2,800 km) long, and it is one of the two main constituents of the Tigris-Euphrates river system. The river rises in Turkey and flows southeast across Syria and through Iraq.

Yes - I'm only going by what Mercator stated.

But as has been said before, Mercator never visited the North Pole, nor, as far as I could see from your links to his letter, did he ever claim to have done so.

No the Euphrates came from the North pole in the frist place.

I don't care if Mercator went to the north pole or not his maps are so accurate to the point where we still use them today.

But God said to Abraham:

“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates — ” (Ge 15:18 NKJV)

The Promised Land was the land previously inhabited by the Canaanites, Perizzites, Jebusites, etc., none of whom lived at or near the North Pole.

Later we read about David:

“David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his territory at the River Euphrates.” (2Sa 8:3 NKJV)

Are you saying that David went anywhere near the North Pole? Jeremiah also was told to go to the Euphrates:

“"Now it shall be, when you have finished reading this book, [that] you shall tie a stone to it and throw it out into the Euphrates.” (Jer 51:63 NKJV)

More accurate than those of people who have been there?

The Euprates river has trickled down to what we call the Euphrates today all four of them have.

Trickled through the sea that surrounds the Arctic? According to Encyclopaedia Britannica on the Euphrates:

"The river rises in Turkey and flows southeast across Syria and through Iraq."
