Searching For The Garden Of Eden

Did the Genesis flood destroy the Garden of Eden?

No,

After Adam and Eve had sinned, God banished them from the Garden of Eden. Gen 3:24 "So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

"The garden of eden was protected by cherubim(flaming sword)and angels, so it was not destroyed , the earth did, but not "GARDEN OF EDEN"

Obviously, the Bible doesn't tell us but Adam and Eve were removed from the garden and cherubim were placed to guard the tree of life. Are there any indications of what happened to the garden or the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden? There are cherubim guarding Garden of Eden currently, so what happened to the garden?

The Garden of Eden was a real earthly place and we want to know where it was.In the Bible, a garden is an enclosed park (Heb. GAN). We know the Garden of Eden was enclosed for
it had only one entrance. God sent his angels to guard the only place of entry so humans are prohibited to enter in Garden of Eden and i thing researchers or scientists cant find or reach the garden of eden .

"“Most people probably think the search for a “real” Garden of Eden was abandoned centuries ago. With so many modern scientific advances, the discovery of fossil evidence from early ages and, of course, the advance of Darwin’s theory of evolution"

Of course nobody knows for a certainty where the ancient Garden of Eden was located....

NO SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS ARE STILL SEARCHING THE REAL GARDEN OF EDEN

I saw a documentary about the search for Eden. There are also many articles online that you can read. Most come to the same conclusion that the Garden was destroyed by the flood. The flood was worldwide, it would have destroyed the garden. The angels were guarding it from the pre-flood people - after the flood, there would be no need to have the guards there as it was gone and the threat was gone.

It is with good reason that the word “paradise” resonates within us. Quite simply, we were made to live in Paradise! According to the Bible, our first parents were blessed by God with a home described as a “paradise”—a beautiful park, or garden. (Genesis 2:8, footnote) This park evidently occupied a portion of the region called Eden, which means “Pleasure.” Although modern scholars tend to view Eden as a myth, the Bible presents it as a historical reality, giving geographic clues as to its original location. (Genesis 2:10-14) Two geographic markers—the rivers Pishon and Gihon—can no longer be identified. So the garden’s exact location remains a mystery.

Our first parents rebelled against God and lost Paradise for all of us. (Genesis 3:1-23) Nevertheless, man has been unable to erase the desire for paradise from his heart. Echoes of the Bible account have even appeared in the mythology of many lands. The Greeks, for example, developed the myth of a Golden Age—an ideal time when humankind lived an easy, peaceful life.

Many have tried to find the long-lost Eden. Some sought Eden in Ethiopia—unsuccessfully, of course. Legend even held that a sixth-century cleric named Brendan found paradise on an island in the southwest Atlantic. Other legends claimed that paradise lay hidden on a high mountain. Frustrated with the contradictions of these legends, the famous explorer Christopher Columbus lamented: “I have not found neither have I ever read a text from the Latin or the Greek that for a certainty stated in which corner of the world the earthly paradise can be found.” Eventually, he became convinced that it was located somewhere south of the equator.

After his third trip to the New World, Columbus said: “It seems that this land is the earthly paradise, for it complies with the description of the saints and the scholarly theologians that I have mentioned.” The New World, however, did not prove to be the paradise Columbus imagined.

The garden was destroyed in the flood. The whole earth was destroyed, that was the point of the flood. The Cherubim was to keep man out so he would not eat of the tree of life and live forever. When the earth was flooded there was no need for the garden. The only clues we have are the rivers and during the flood they may have been destroyed.

The 'Garden of Eden' and all antediluvian land was destroyed by the Flood.

No one will ever find the 'Garden' as all that tropical vegetation is now either coal, oil or gas.

I heard a speech once from those prophetic types who said that the tree of life was transplanted to heaven. It's also hinted at in Rev. 22. Obviously, the flood destroyed all pre-flood civilizations. We're talking 1000 feet of sediment.

Something tells me that the Garden of Eden was not of this earth.

The Biblical Genesis, the flood and the Garden of Eden are all antiquarian folklore and myth possibly older than 3,000 years. And across many cultures. It is not history. It is not fact.



The story was so well known, it made it into The Hebrew Bible..

Same with Exodus.. It's folklore...

Yes. While the earth was under water for a full year, it did not stop rotating which scraped off all the vegetation. This is why we have oil and coal as the plant and animal matter was pulled down into the earth to compost. We have found silver thimbles, spoons, etc that were hundreds of feet down in the coal deposits and are in the Smithsonian.

After Adam’s banishment from the paradisaic garden, with no one to cultivate it and to take care of it, it may be assumed that it merely grew up in natural profusion with only the animals to inhabit its confines until it was obliterated by the surging waters of the Flood, its location lost to man except for the divine record of its existence. Ge 2:15.

The first "Garden of Eden" sunk beneath the sea of western Asia. The second is beneath the water and silt of the northern Persian gulf.

Why is there a tree of life? Aren't we born alive? How stupid can the Bible be! Total insanity!

Fictional places can't be found in reality. I bet you think you'd find talking snakes at this "place" too, huh?
