No one has ever reported finding it.How do you know it doesn't exist anymore?
i was curious whether or not people believe the Garden actually exists and why they believe one way or the other.

How do you know it existed in the first place?
Maybe everyones been looking in the wrong places.
Because i know the Torah is true and someone i know, through his research, discovered one of the entrances.
No, science has determined that there was no flood. Tell Me your version of it and I will explain how we know that it is wrong.Not necessarily. It could have been simply overrun by weeds and the decay brought about by time. It's not like it had a supermarket and town hall to distinguish it. The fact that science hasn't determined that there has been a flood means nothing.

Where is the article published? This would I think be a tourist meca for theists by now.
How did he determine there was a garden there?
He hasn't been able to go there as of yet, it's not a simple trip. He only knows of it through his research.
Then he has a hypothesis at best, not a discovery.
When he has published his research paper, please post a link.

JW is short for Jehovah's Witnesses. They are a christian sect but not considered Christian (or followers of Christ) since they disagree with the trinity and most of what's in Christian history that make Christian, Christian. I don't know where to put them outside of being a follower of Christ. Very fundamentalist in their views.
Well, they ARE Christians. The hierarchy goes:
Abrahamic
Christian
Restorationist (a category that does not include Orthodox..including Catholics...or Reformationists...those are the Protestants...and does include Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, and all the descendants of the "Stone-Cambellite" movements. None of 'em agree with one another very much)
Jehovah's Witnesses.
I have met a few, awhile back, who didn't consider themselves to be "Christian," but that was awhile ago. I think it was a 'picky definition' thing.
Doesn't make 'em right.
Doesn't make 'em 'saved.'
But they believe in Jesus Christ and claim to follow His teachings, so....yep. They are Christians.
I guess the real question, one I have asked many times, is...who 'considers' someone to be "Christian,' when that someone claims to be one, and why does anybody have the right/authority to do that?
As in, who died and made 'them' God, that 'they' can declare who is, and who is not, 'Christian?"
...........sorry. I forgot to take my curmudgeon hat off.....
No, science has determined that there was no flood. Tell Me your version of it and I will explain how we know that it is wrong.
So it would be wise not to believe anyone who says they are a Christian......
Wrong again. Perhaps you do not know the meaning of the word "speculate".You weren't there. You can only speculate.

It is a interesting myth.i was curious whether or not people believe the Garden actually exists and why they believe one way or the other.
