In accordance with Christian mythology and froma geographical perspective, where do you think Eden is on Earth

I think that the Garden of Eden was once located where the Sahara Desert is today.  I also believe that Eden was  or was moved to a differnt dimension beyond the veil of this world.  An angel of fire guards the entrance to the Garden against any attempted "return" and that is why the area is now a desert.

I believe that a literal interpretation of Genesis is ignorant.  I believe that Genesis is a Christian mythology and I have scholars on my side.  The whole creation story is symbolic.  When it was written, we didn't have science to explain how the earth or its inhabitants were created, so the writer had to explain it in a way that people living at the time would understand.  The Adam and Eve story, I believe is symbolic of emerging societies.  Adam and Eve living in paradise are symbolic to small nomadic groups of people living apart from each other.  They are kicked out of paradise when nomadic groups began to experience conditions that threatened their survival - hot sun, cold winters and learned about the fragility of life and death.  They had two children, Cain and Able - this symbolizes the population getting larger and when Cain killed Able, this is symbolic for fighting and wars between individuals and groups of people with differing ideas.

It would be known as the Phraddorian World and orbits the star Ennea Naddoria.  It is located on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy approximately 63,000 light years from Earth.  They journey across the stars using a device called the Lahnshal Gateways, but for greater distance, they use great starships called Wave Riders.  \n\nAcross a vast stellar wasteland is another world called Sandahl Shore.  For the Phraddorians, this world would be a close approximation to Heaven.

Genesis.  Other than that it never existed in the physical realm, it exists on the astral plane.

If Adam & Eve had not disobeyed Jehovah, they would be living somewhere on the Earth today in a Garden of Eden, a Paradise.\n\nThere are those who reason that, because of the very nature of the physical universe, the time must come when the sun will no longer shine and the earth will no longer sustain life. But are they correct? What does the Creator say—the One who brought into existence energy and matter, the One who originated the laws on which our existence depends?\nSolomon penned these words: “A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.” But for how long? According to the literal rendering of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, it will be “to time indefinite.” What does that mean?\nAs to what the expression means in connection with the earth, we are not left in doubt. At Psalm 104:5 we are told: “He has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.\nThus it is regarding the planet Earth on which we live that Jesus Christ taught his followers to pray to God: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.”—Matthew 6:9, 10.\nJehovah’s will is not for the earth to be inhabited by people who have no regard for its Owner and little love for one another. Long ago he promised: “Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:9, 29) “The inhabited earth to come,” of which the Bible speaks, will be populated by people who fear God and sincerely love their fellowmen. (Hebrews 2:5; compare Luke 10:25-28.) So great will be the changes that take place under God’s heavenly Kingdom that the Bible speaks of “a new earth”—not a different globe, but a new human society that will live amid the paradisaic conditions that mankind’s Creator purposed from the time he began his earthly creation.—Revelation 21:1-5; Genesis 2:7-9, 15.\nThe establishing of that “new earth” will, of necessity, be preceded by great destruction—one surpassing anything that mankind has yet experienced. For the good of the earth itself and all who are truly grateful to its Creator, he will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:17, 18) God’s time for doing this is very near! When it is completed, will you be found among the survivors?\n\n“Inherit the earth”—what an exciting prospect! But can we be sure that this is not just another crafty scheme designed to deprive people of something? Yes, we can. Since the earth is part of Jehovah’s marvelous creation, he as the Maker and Owner has the legal right to bequeath it to whomever he chooses. Through King David, Jehovah made this prophetic promise to His beloved Son, Jesus Christ: “Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.” (Psalm 2:8) For this reason, the apostle Paul described Jesus as the one “whom [God] appointed heir of all things.” (Hebrews 1:2) We can, therefore, have full confidence that when Jesus said that the meek “shall inherit the earth,” he did so in good faith, and he has the proper authority to fulfill his promise.—Matthew 28:18.\n2 Peter 3:6: \nPeter writes that God brought the Deluge “upon a world of ungodly people,” while preserving Noah and his family; in this way “the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.” (2Pe 2:5; 3:6) It may again be noted that the reference here is not to the destruction of the planet or of the celestial bodies of the universe, but it is restricted to the human sphere, in this case the unrighteous human society. It was that “world” that Noah condemned by his faithful course.—Heb 11:7.

That is true.\n\nTo j_d_barrow:\n\nWhat the hell are you going on about? Adam and Eve were also taken from an earlier Pagan religion. "The first people on earth" HA HA HA!\n\nWho lived in Nod where Cain got his wife? \n\nYou Christians really have to start asking yourself some questions. Your whole religion is fake, even your Messiah cannot be proven to exist and is very similar to the Pagan God (Osiris), by the way the Caesar that lived the same time as "Jesus" have records, Jesus has none...\n\nWhat about the Trinity...Pagan's and Hindus have a Trinity that Predates Christianity?\n\nBut, you guys have the only "right path", hey?

You meant the Land of Nod friend. Apparently there was a tribe of not-quite-giants hanging around and Cain found one that dug short guys. Where did the people of Nod come from if Adam & Eve were the first people? Heh, well, nobody ever accused the christian bible of being a well written and coherent story. One would think a god could write a better book...\n\nI think the Land of Sod might have been where Adam & Steve met however...

The tree of knowledge, which contained fruit of some kind with a serpent wrapped around it's branches. That's how I'd know it was refering to the garden of eden.

Christianity kind of messes up on this bit of theology. According to them, there was a war in heaven between Satan and God, and Satan got cast to Earth.  At the same time, they say that heaven is a wonderful, joyous place of eternal bliss that we should all strive to attain. I posit that these two concepts are incompatible. It means that there is sin and rebellion in heaven, and if there was one war, there might be others that Christians don't know about. Why bother going to a place that is no better than Earth??\n\nAnd yes, the word "lucifer" does NOT refer to Satan at all. It is a LATIN word, not a Hebrew name, and was used to translate the words "morning star," or "son of the morning."  It is actually a reference to the planet Venus, which is very bright and can be seen in the early dawn sky; it precedes the sun and so is called the "bringer of light" and similar titles in many cultures. This title is found in Isaiah ch.14, in a prophecy about the king of Babylon. It has nothing to do with Satan, but is a poetic reference to how the king aspired to greatness and would be cast down to the dirt. Christians take it literally, but if they would actually READ the entire chapter--and the one preceding it--they would see that the context can in no way refer to an angelic being. It is all about Israel and Babylon. Funny how Christians always accuse us skeptics of taking things out of context, when they do it all the time, in order to make scriptures mean what THEY want them to mean, and not what they actually say!

In Revelation(or Apocalypse)21:1 John states that he saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.Most people believe that God is going to destroy the earth and heavens with fire, maybe with a nuclear war. The important part is to realize that Biblically heavens are the sky and space, not some fantasy paradise where Christians go. So God will make a new sky and planets and earth.In verse 2 it talks about the holy city new jerusalem coming out of the heavens. This is the place with the streets of gold, pearly gates and the crystal river,not heaven, this will land on the new earth and this is where all believers will spend eternity. If you use a Strongs concordance and look up all the verses containing heaven you will see also that it is only the sky and space. Your broken english is fine with me, feel free to contact me with your questions anytime. I would be honored to spend eternity with a Romanian brother.

it confirms mine.  Being wiccan/pagan I believe that the earth is a living, breathing being that is growing and changing.  Pangea is proof of that.  While the earths growth and changes take longer than the lifespan of humans it does happen.

If you buy into Judeo-Christian mythology, God is the author of free will.  Satan is not a creator, but a perverter, and thus could not give to Adam and Eve an inherent quality that they did not already possess.

Yes. the Garden of Eden was around present day Iraq and Iran. In Genesis 2:14, it says "The 3rd river is named Tigris, the one flowing east of Assyria. And the 4th river is Euphrates." The 1st and 2nd rivers are Pishon and Gihon, which has since dried.

The term "in his image" means not what he looks like (god) but what he imagined man to look like. Yes Man did exist outside of Eden.  "Cain then traveled to the land of Nod and there he knew his wife".  Only the decendants of Adam and Eve are cursed.  Since there were those outside of Eden they are without sin.  God did not flood the entire earth, in fact it was the river Nile that had flooded and washed away those in the local area.  Otherwise how would you account for the pacific civilizations.  The bible is full of metaphores.  You must take the stories and see beyond the words to see what little truth is left in them.  The original bible had over 100 books in it.  It got whittled down to what we recognize today, by different Popes, Bishops, and Kings taking out what they thought didn't fit the story.  Gutenburg was the first to put it all together.  Also consider these stories have been handed down for many centuries and in so the translations became blurry.  By the way I am not a Christian but a Witch, I take the time to study other belief systems so I can better understand my brothers and sisters.
