Did the Garden of Eden have boundaries? Was it a small, defined location—or did Adam and Eve have access to the whole earth?
In this episode of Ask Dr. E, Dr. Michael Easley walks through Genesis 2 to explore what Scripture actually says about Eden, its rivers, its geography, and what changed after the fall. Becky and her husband are debating whether the Garden was a specific locale with borders or part of a fully accessible world. Dr. Easley explains what we can know, what we can reasonably infer, and where we must admit Scripture is silent.
He also discusses the pre-flood world, the naming of the Tigris and Euphrates, the curse on the ground, and whether Adam and Eve may have been in the Garden for a surprisingly short time.
Curiosity is good. Speculation is tempting. But God has given us exactly what we need.
If you’ve ever wondered where Eden was—or how long Adam and Eve were there—this episode is for you.
