Was the Garden of Eden a real place?
Yes, and the Urantia Book gives its geography: a long narrow peninsula projecting westward from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, chosen after a three-year planetary survey. The Garden was a real settlement with a temple, homes, and schools, and the peninsula later sank beneath the sea.
In the book's own words
The committee on location was absent for almost three years. It reported favorably concerning three possible locations: The first was an island in the Persian Gulf; the second, the river location subsequently occupied as the second garden; the third, a long narrow peninsula—almost an island—projecting westward from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
