Where Is The Garden Of Eden?
The Garden of Eden is a mythical place where the first human being named ‘Abraham’ was created by God. Abraham religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam etc.) believe in the story and claim that the Garden of Eden lies somewhere in the East.
The story goes something like this: God created the first man ‘Abraham’ from Earth and on seeing that he was alone created the first woman ‘Eva’ with the matter taken from the chest of Abraham. Both were kept in the Garden of Eden. They didn’t have to work because the garden gave them plenty to eat and drink. These privileges came with a condition. God had told them not to go near a tree, where the Satan lived. Abraham and Eva ignored the warning and ate an apple (or a fruit) from the tree. Then, took place the first sexual encounter in history and this made God angry. He kicked them out of the garden. Some Christians, Muslims and others are still looking for that garden.
Bible tells us the Garden should be in the East. Tabriz in Iran, Sumer and Dilum in Iraq and Jerusalem in Israel are sometimes cited as the places where the Garden should be found. The cult is so widespread that the members of ‘The Church of the Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints’ believe that the Garden of Eden is in Missouri, in the United States! Science and most educated people think of the Garden of Eden as a mere myth but still there still are some who would like to travel around the world to find the Garden!
