How can people say Eden was in Missouri when Bible says where it was here (see post)?

Genesis 2 KJV

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Euphrates river is in Iraq and area.

It was in the middle east/Africa area along with its rivers. IT was nowhere near the USA at all.

    The garden of Eden is one of the north highland of Venus. Assyria and the Tigris (Hiddekel in the Hebrew version) and Euphrates rivers mentioned in Genesis 2:14, are citations of the Eden and not Earth’s.

    Truthfully, as clearly noted in the Bible along with ancient historic study "Eden" was located at or near the mouth of the Euphrates river.

    There until Euphrates dries up, then what?

    Rev.16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the

    seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness;

    and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

    16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of

    their pains and their sores, and repented not of their

    deeds.

    16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the

    great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried

    up, that the way of the kings of the east might be

    prepared.

    16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come

    out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth

    of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

    16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working

    miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth

    and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle

    of that great day of God Almighty.

    16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that

    watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk

    naked, and they see his shame.

    16:16 And he gathered them together into a place

    called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

    I have no idea. Who says that Eden was in Missouri? Is that a Mormon belief or something?? But it is very interesting that its drying up was prophesied in Revelation! Or scary? Are we really that close to the end ? I wonder if the anti-Christ is here, among the leaders of the world???

    It's actually underwater, near the area you describe.

    Indeed, not in the USA.

    In simple terms, they're just plain stupid.
