Furthermore, the basement rock, if indeed it was present before the Flood, would have likely undergone erosion also. No present topography or underground surface could possibly bear any resemblance to the pre-flood world. That world is gone! Noah and his family would have encountered the present-day Tigris and Euphrates Rivers soon after leaving the Ark.
As their descendants migrated, they would give familiar names to the new rivers and places. God placed an angel at the entrance to the Garden to keep pre-flood men from returning. The Flood made even that precaution unnecessary.

The Latest. A team of evolutionary scientists from the U. We are told that a river flowed out of the garden, but we are not given a name for the river. This river branched into four other rivers: the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and the Euphrates.
Many have speculated as to the location of the four rivers with the goal of determining the location of the Garden of Eden.
McClintock and Strong have masterfully documented nine different theories about the location of the Garden of Eden. The four rivers are used in many of the theories in an attempt to locate the garden. He also cites the views of non-Christians.
The major problem with all of the views are the locations of the Pishon and Gihon rivers since there are no rivers with those names. What follows is a brief summary of the findings. Some have said the river Pishon is the Danube River, but there is no biblical, historical or archaeological support for the claim.
We do not know the location of this land nor has there been any known river with the name Pishon. The land of Havilah and the location of the Pishon River are both unknown.
The location of the Gihon River is also unknown. Yet, some think this river was the Nile River. In short, the location of the Pishon and Gihon rivers are unknown to us.
Today, locations of rivers bearing the names of the Tigris and Euphrates are well-known. They flow from the mountains of Syria and Iraq down through modern Iraq to the sea, but the location of rivers with the same names at the time of Adam and Eve are uncertain. Through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
NASB 2 Peter There is great reason to believe the great flood changed the geography of our world. The geography of our world today is different than it was at the creation.
John Calvin stated in his commentary on Genesis that some try to argue that the surface of the earth changed. From this difficulty, some would free themselves by saying that the surface of the globe may have been changed by the deluge.
Henry Morris in his Commentary on Genesis states,. In general, it is evident that the geography described in these verses does not exist in the present world, nor has it ever existed since the Flood. The rivers and countries described were antediluvian geographical features, familiar to Adam, the original author of this part of the narrative.
They were all destroyed, and the topography and geography completely changed. The first one was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve could not eat of this tree. Yet, it must have been extremely appealing, since the other trees are described as pleasing or appealing. Genesis tells us this was the tree that Satan used in his temptation of Eve.
Eventually she ate of the tree, offered it to her husband and he ate. The result was that sin entered the creation, and every man and woman since has been born a sinner. This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding.
