In whom I trust
You mock my pain!
I only have one arm! My other arm was severed by an invisible flaming sword! I lost a good buddy! You weren't there man!
Why do you think I mention cyborg arm research and God healing amputees* whenever I can???

Actually, I've never seen any hint that Eden was supposedly wiped out by the Flood. Seems a bit post hoc to me. And Eden seems kinda pansy if it could be destroyed with a Flood. Though it's funny how people need to make up explanations for something that didn't happen. Too bad they didn't get the memo.
Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Also Noah knew when the worst was over once plant life had returned to life when the dove brought an olive leaf, but before that the bird found nothing
2 Peter 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Well Eden was made for Adam and Eve to live in when they were sinless, being that they had not sinned. Leaving the garden was punishment for that. You are also forgetting that there were 4 rivers flowing beside the Garden and yet we only have two of the river mentioned after the flood, The Tigris and Euphrates. One reason for this is the new rivers reminded them of the rivers that flowed by Eden and as such they named them after it. I know that that is a common thing since my city's name is called Perth due to the fact that the Captain of the ship saw the beautiful landscape and it reminded him of the Scottish highlands.
