Talk:Garden of Eden

Geography section
Um, I have a question. On a sphere, what is the center of landmass? Would the center be the core or am I misunderstanding something here? If taken wrong, it would look like we believe the earth is flat instead of a sphere. A Child of God (talk) 20:46, February 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * No, the "land" is the dry land -- not the planet.  That is the language of scripture and science.


 * Genesis 1 says that "the dry part" was called "earth."  When the "earth" was covered with water, it was the "dry land."  The word "earth" is also used for the ground, but mostly for the particular "land" in which one is dwelling -- especially the "promised land."


 * Basically, creation distinguishes between "sky (heaven), earth (land), water (seas)."  Other usage is derived from those basic meanings.  A "landmass" is what we call a continent.  Apparently, the first "earth" was a single landmass.  SouthWriter (talk) 06:46, February 27, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. That makes more sense. Center makes more sense when looked at from that perspective. A Child of God (talk) 11:44, February 27, 2016 (UTC)
