Where Was the Garden of Eden?

Answers with Ken Ham

This is Ken Ham, inviting you to visit the Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky.

Have you ever wondered where the Garden of Eden was? Many people assume the Middle East because Genesis mentions the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and those rivers flow in the Middle East. But this is a wrong assumption.

You see, the Bible describes four rivers coming from one head and flowing through Eden. This isn’t true of today’s Tigris and Euphrates rivers so they can’t be the ones described in Genesis. And, besides, under those rivers are thousands of feet of the fossil record which was formed during Noah’s flood.

So what’s the point? We don’t know where the Garden of Eden was, and any remnant was destroyed during the global flood of Noah’s day.
