According to The Bible, the earth was created 'in the beginning', no specific time period indicated (Genesis 1:1). The creation of the Garden of Eden, and life on earth, began much more recently, believed by many to be around 4,026 BCE, in southwestern part of what is now called Asia (Turkey), around the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.(Genesis 2:7-15) Scripturally, Eden is referred to in other books of the Bible (Ezekiel 28:13)(Isaiah 51:3)(Joel 2:3)(Ezekiel 36:35), and according to Bible chronology, would have been created a little over 6000 years ago.

∙ 8y agoLeon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place - a mere Utopia. Although theologians like James Ussher can calculate exactly when the world was created, and therefore when the Garden of Eden existed in biblical terms (4004 BCE), it does not really stand in any place or time in the real world. There was no Garden of Eden in all the time the world has existed.
