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 location of the garden of Eden is now a mud flat down 300 ft is fossilized vegetation I don't feel like digging 300 ft down in the heat!

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.



Eden was an actual locality that was quite extensive. a location north of the Mesopotamian plains, the source of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Genesis 2:7-14



The traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 140 mi SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, in the eastern part of modern Turkey.



That Eden may have been surrounded by some natural barrier, such as mountains, could be suggested by the fact that cherubs are stated to have been stationed only at the east of the garden, from which point Adam and Eve made their exit.

It's entirely possible that the Garden of Eden was inundated by a flood.

Yep. All the vegetation was scraped from the face of the earth and pulled down when the water receded into the earth which gives every continent oil and coal.

IF the garden of Eden was still on earth the cherubim would still be blocking the way to garden. As none of mankind was allowed to enter the garden of Eden.

SO it would be so easy to find the garden of Eden because the people searching would just have to look for the Cherubim with the flaming sword. People who lived near it would be posting ppictures on Facebook. Tourist could find it on Google maps.

ALL EVIDENCE points to the garden of Eden being destroyed during the GLOBAL flood of Noah's day. The entire surface of the earth was changed so the water could recede and there could be dry land again.

The Angel guarding the way to the garden of Eden went back to Heaven.

Yes...no. But the Euphrates and Tigris rivers are still around that flowed from the Garden of Eden

Judging from the description of the Deluge

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+8%3A8-12&version=NASB;NRSV

all (at least local) vegetation - or at least all vegetation of significant size (large enough to bear the weight of a dove) - was destroyed by the Deluge.



Note that the Bible locates Eden fairly close to Mount Ararat

- Eden being a region that includes the sources of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=gen+2%3A10-14&version=NASB;NRSV

which sources today lie in eastern Turkey, as also does Mount Ararat





So: **even if the Deluge was regional**, it certainly destroyed the region of Eden (and, therefore, the garden of Eden).

It is right there. Western culture calls it "The Big Rock Candy Mountain".

this is a credible theory, in the LDS church, Joseph smith said that Missouri was part of the garden of Eden. and considering the idea that the whole earth was flooded
