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

Actually, if the area used to be proper based on what's within the bible, there may be a metropolis built on it, now. I don't suppose the tree of skills was once any distinct from the other trees of the garden. It was the principle at the back of it, and i suppose that the tree of life can have been imbued by using God by some means. Of direction, this is just speculation on my section, but it is sensible. The garden used to be ultimately now not a "backyard" due to the fact there used to be nobody to have a tendency it. It used to be taken over through what sin had wrought. Intriguing question.

The garden was assumed destroyed in the flood. But there is no way to destroy the place of paradise.



On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Revelations 22 1-2



The story is full of very powerful symbols. Was it a literal place? I cannot say. But it is a place in my heart and the hearts of many that we know as our lost home.

The Garden of Eden was located in Missouri, USA ... according to Mormon belief.



(It's never existed anyway, so anyone can say "it was here!")

Are there still people that believe what is written in the bible is actually real ?



Wow.



This collection of stories and parables was written by many different people over many many years and then translated ad infinitum until the original meaning was lost a long time ago.

The book of Genesis is a metaphor, a parable. Its not to be taken literally.

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



I do - it was located in the imagination of a bronze age story teller.
