So, where is it? If not one of 6.3 billion people could find it, perhaps it simply does not exist, never has and never will.

When I used to believe the whole bible story, I thought it was in Arizona. ;)

Many people believe it to be in Mesopotamia

It exists ............... in the bible. ;)

i thought it had been tracked down a fertile valley somewhere in Iran?

Depends, many point to the middle east, inc. Iraq (between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers) and Iran, this guy says its here (http://www.logoschristian.org/eden.html), some say it was in Africa and many just think its a whole load of bobbins...

...as they say on Blind Date..."The choice is yours....!"

The Euphrates was one of four rivers that flowed out of Eden. Therefore, Eden was where Iraq is today, assuming Eden was a literal place. If it was/is, then it had to have been destroyed in the flood (assuming that literally happened).

I believe the story of Eden and "the fall" to be a metaphor about loss of innocence.

There are also people who think it's somewhere in the southern bit of africa if I'm not mistaken...

However finding Eden is a little less realistic than finding Camelot..

God transplanted the garden of Eden a long time ago off of this planet. Now only weeds grow where it used to be. But dont get me wrong even weeds have their own beauty.

It was between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. It is not there any longer though.

It never existed. At least according to my religion teacher (and the Catholic Church).

The story of the Garden of Eden and the Fall is an allegory rather then an actual event.

It's in Lucas, Kansas.

And I'm not kidding.

It's somewhere in the Bengalla jungle.

Jesus, don't you people ever read The Phantom? (http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/phantom/about.htm)

Everyone knows it was Ireland and that's why St. Patrick drove out all those evil snakes. :fluffle:

Our whole world was the Garden of Eden.
However God cast us out of that which he had created for us because of the sin of Adam and Eve. He has given us the free will to return when we are ready. That is our evolution, both physically and mentally, and when we have all accepted our true God and Jesus as our saviour, we will have found it. This is what evolution truly is, as opposed to the false teachings of those who would trick and deceive you into believing that we are intelligent apes.

Its somewhere up near Taupo I thought?

Ha, sorry I'm letting the team down by not accepting. Have fun on shitty earth in the mean time.

Please, please don't tell me that anyone of you believe that the story of Adam and Eve was historical correct. :eek:

Sorry you think Earth is "shitty" If you look it is actually very beautiful, it is mankind that is mostly ugly.
As for the team, it regretably seems you have already chosen who's team you are on.

Well, it may have been embellished a little. :D:
