But how do we know the claim is true? There is virtually no scientic evidence in that video. You saying "if the claim is true" is no more convincing than robbie carrobie saying "we are awesome" every other day. Can you see that?

How can you be so adamant that it is "obvious" and yet also pragmatic that it is open to personal opinion?
Your not just making this up as you go sling are you.

Notice the IF in statement. That is not me being adamant that the claim is obviously true as you claim I did.
So maybe it would be good for you to really pay attention so you do not make untrue claims.

It's like saying to sonhouse "if the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists" then you should consider getting to know it.
It's like this whole thread to be honest, completely pointless.

Is it also for the ones you drive away with your repugnant attitude?

The real location of the Garden of Eden claimed to have been found using satelite imagery.

Do you remember when you actually thought that Eden was outside the coastline of Somalia? You even gave the coordinates.
Eden is a symbolic place, nothing more.
