Scripture ... Gen 2:10-14; 6:1ff ... Gen 2:10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. annmarie1027, greetings - Tigris and Euphrates are two of the rivers mantioned in this passage ... and they are in Iraq. Nut, remeber that Iraq is not where the Garden was located ... and there was a flood ... which changed many things, we don't know whar it did to the earth. Searcher |

Southern Turkey is the spot scientists say was the location of the Garden | ||||||

Hello greentwiga, Did the “scientists” come up with this idea, “That the Garden of Eden was in Turkey”, before or after they tried to convince everyone of evolution? I personally would have been more impressed if it was a Biblicists that figured it out, but apart from that; how did they come to this conclusion, which I realize would be extra biblical? CDBJ |

Dear CDBJ; I am a fundamentalist Biblicist and came to the conclusion after delving deep into scriptures. Looking for the four rivers, I realized that the location had to be where fig trees grew. I then homed in on a Mountain in southern Turkey called Karacadag as the location. It divides its watershed into four major rivers or tributaries. Then looking for other biological clues, I saw that Adam was cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. Thus he had to grow wheat. He was also the first farmer. I researched the first domesticated foods (plants of the field) The center of wild lentils is in this area, Chickpeas only grow in this area, but the clincher was wheat. Scientists did a genetic study and concluded that wheat had been domesticated only once, from the wild wheat growing around Karacadag. I insisted that my conclusions agree completely with the Bible, but I prefer if it also agrees reasonably well with all the extra Biblical evidence. Greentwiga |

Greetings Greentwiga, Are we to concur that you are writing a book with conclusive evidence of your finding and that all of the other biblical historians are way off base, with their erroneous calculations? Seeing that you are outnumbered by the biblicist that hold to the view that the Garden of Eden was located somewhere in Mesopotamia, or what today is known today as Iraq; what are the chances or odds that you are wrong? Every biblical scientist has given the odds of their calculation and they are more then anxious to reiterate their exact calculations to verify their hypothesis: please give more details, this could be interesting! Have a nice day, CDBJ |
