Where does the Bible say the Garden of Eden was? In the Middle East.
Where did Joseph Smith say the Garden of Eden was? Jackson County, Missouri.
Which should you believe, the Bible or Smith? Eden was definitely in the Middle East.
1 Nephi 2:8 says, “And it came to pass that he called the name of the river, Laman, and it emptied into the Red Sea; and the valley was in the borders near the mouth thereof.”
As the blog, “Life After Ministry” points out,
“There has never been a river that empties into the Red Sea. It’s surrounded by wilderness (desert) only.”
Just these two examples should be enough for anyone to question the Book of Mormon and its author, Joseph Smith.
