This here is exactly the problem, which I believe I said in my first post: "The bible does not explicitly exclude this," is not evidence for it. It's not even a compelling argument, because as I said, you can make up all manner of things that were not expressly denied in the bible. I don't have to make any assumptions at all to point out that your case is so weak as to be nonexistent.

Quote:Well, no it couldn't have worked that way because of the placement in the middle east (Or rather the rivers) that defined it are and have been established in the genesis account, not to mention the genesis mentions earth several different times, from the source of where God got the material to fashion Adam to the bird that flew above the earth to the fish that swam in the water, and Adam's interaction with these animals.
The earth is the earth. The garden however was a reserve placed on the Earth that Adam, Eve and God communed.

Is it beyond god's power to make a portion of the Earth levitate? Or to have rivers flow upward into space? Or downward in a waterfall off of the garden? The bible never states that the garden of Eden wasn't airborne, and since, as you say, the Genesis account is garden-centric in its point of view, you have no way of knowing that there wasn't outer space just outside of it. If that's enough for you to assert that your evolution claim is true, then it's likewise sufficient to establish Space Eden.

Oh and also? Every time god was in the garden, it was in the form of the Cookie Crisp wolf. Because it never says he didn't do that in the bible. I just decided: enjoy imagining that every time you read Genesis! Rolleyes
