Legendary site of the Garden of Eden. Qurna is located in a fertile region of Iraq where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet. Genesis chapter 2 says, "A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; ...The name of the second river is Gihon; ...the name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates."
Qurna is home to a gnarled old tree referred to as "Adam's tree, " although no particular biblical tree is specified. Palm groves and other trees in the area have been damaged in past conflicts; nearby Basra has been a target in the current war. What's incredible is that while I was in the U.S. Army, 1988-1991, I fought in the largest tank battle in the history of battles; The Battle of Medina Ridge. When we finally stopped fighting we found ourselves at where the Tigris and Euphrates meet in Iraq. Whoa. SB | |

Where was the Garden of Eden "Physically" located? What type of evidence supports your answer?

The following keywords should be researched which are in quotes in the paragraph I have pasted in below as taken from a beliefnet article. Please post any research you find here.
__________________________________________________________ Start with the "New Thought Churches", like "Unity Churches". I teach at a lot of Unity Churches and they are primarily Christian. The only thing that's different is that they recognize the unity of all religions. But they are primarily Christian. __________________________________________________________ Thanks! Scott | |

Must keep in mind that in the U.S. the word Fairy is commonly associated with a weaker male, perhaps homosexual. That is perhaps why in the U.S. they refer to them as Angels.
I want to share this picture with you all just because there seems to have been some sort of energy, or light being even floating within the frame of it. Almost taking away from the base beauty of the photo to the left you will note a lighting pattern - http://www.scottbruno.com/images/redtrose1.jpg Not that this is Angelic, or fairy like, but perhaps so. The photo was not manipulated and when I shot it there was no sun out. Scott | |
