If people are going to try comprehend Genesis literally then you have to get around made in Gods image. Which would dictate that God like Adam, needs oxygen to breath, which obviously wouldn't have been around before creation. God like adam would have limited lifespan; God like Adam needs Warmth, food etc etc etc.
We have no scientific knowledge of where Eden is. We have no scientific knowledge of what east of Eden is... The garden Lord God planed where he put Adam was to the east of Eden (Adam was never put into the garden of Eden, but in a new garden planted to the east of Eden).... There are no tree of life, there is no tree of knowledge on earth. There is nothing.... to Show for this being on earth.

Us?
Does God have a mouse in his pocket or something?
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
This means all of you. Not just some. This verse is very specific..

You have some answers, i dont agree to them.... How would you answer this verse: Genesis chapter 3 verse 24.
There was only one entrance to Eden and that entrance was from the eastward gate.
God and His “Word” could not be as a flesh and blood man because flesh and blood is not allowed in the heaven of God. Adam was created in the image and likeness of God which means that Adam could not have had flesh and blood till after he was cursed. That is not to say that God cannot appear to us in many different forms but there is no reason God would appear in His garden as a corrupt man.
Eden actually existed before Adam was formed from the dust on the groundt. After Lord God formed Adam from the Dust on the Ground, Lord God had to put Adam to sleep so that he could pland a Garden to the east of Eden. This information is damn important to grasp if you are to grasp the rest of this bull#.......
Side note: Why would Lord God have to prematurely form Adam from the dust on the ground before he had a location to put him in...? Why Did Lord God form Adam from the dust on the ground before he had a place to put adam...? Does that make any sence to you...? Why does Lord God God have to have Adam on ice until he have planted a garden for him...? Is Lord God a poor planner/creator...?
So when you read the text why wont you read the same as i do...? DO you read the same as i do but youre mind forces you to see something else..? I dont understand where you get youre knowledge from.... Is what you preach youre own words or is it from someone else...?

As I have told you in my above posts, God planted the garden in Eden on the third day. Adam was created on the sixth day. By this you can understand that God planted the Gan Eden about three days before He created Adam.
24
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
15
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
21
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Lord God never created Man. Lord God formed Adam from the dust on the ground Genesis chapter 2. God created man as male and female: genesis chapter 1. On what day was the women made from Adams ribb...?
No, Adam was created on the sixth day according to the KJV bible in Genesis 1:27 - 31.
27. God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
31. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
No, God did not form man from His creation of earth but "The Word of God" did. "The Word Of God, who is the visibility of God, created all that is in heaven and earth.
