Genesis 2 describes four known rivers flowing out from named locations—in the mountains of Arabia and the mountains surrounding Mesopotamia—and meeting together in the Garden of Eden
only about 1.6% of human history is recorded.
The only time these rivers can join together on dry land is when most of the Persian Gulf is dry. The drying up of most of the Persian Gulf requires that Earth be in an ice age.
Paradise at the confluence of rivers is a trope much, MUCH older than the Genesis narrative. The authors weren't describing an actual place, any more than Plato was describing an actual Atlantis. Both places are literary devices and were never meant to be taken as factual.
You're a very silly person.
