Eden was the beginning of all cultivated plants. As compared to plants that grow in the wild. Also there were majestic trees there. That can be compared to the grand cedar trees we can still find a few patchs of in Lebanon in the great white mountins there.

It was located in the area of Iraq & Kuwait,  where we are told that four rivers come together. Two of those rivers are still there. I am told there is a valley that runs between the rivers.

And how do you know it was in the area of Iran, and Kuwait?

I told you that in my post. Because the Bible talks about four rivers and two of them are still there. The Tigris and the Euphrates.

Genesis 2:14 And the name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.


 

Ahh... I didn't see that lOL.

It is in man's imagination and always has been. It is the ultimate "When I was your age things were better." tool. Some idealic better past that never realy existed except in a story.

Well, if the garden of eden resembles paradise, you can eliminate Texas from your search.

Yes, we carry the Garden of Eden around on the inside of us. But the time will come when we will enter back into the Garden.

God could expand the boarders, even to include the whole world. After all, God created hell for the devil and all his demons, he had to make it bigger to accommodate man when he joined in the rebellion.

Isaiah 5:13-14 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. [14] Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
