It's a myth.
First of all the story is a self contradiction. It claims the Nile River once flowed into the same basin as the Tigris and Euphrates, which there is ZERO Geological evidence of this being the case. Anyway, the description in the Bible says the Garden was "in the east" which is the Fertile Crescent of Babylon/Mesopotamia, but the third river is supposedly the Nile (by a different name) and the 4th river is totally forgotten to time.
Ther eis no such thing as the "Fall of Man" and humans are descended from 8 male and 8 female ancestors, not just two ancestors.
If Adam and Eve were supposedly the mother and father of all living, then the first several generations of humans would be forced to commit incest, which is later forbidden in the law of Moses, and since the real God does not change his laws, this would mean the story of Adam and Eve is a FRAUD, as is the story of Noah's Flood for the same reason, 4 women and 4 men is not enough to repopulate the Earth with modern genetic diversity, and again they'd need to commit incest for the first several generations, which again is forbidden in the Law of "Nature's God" and would cause a severe genetic bottleneck and severe genetic illnesses. Besides, there's no geologic evidence that EITHER of these stories ever actually happened..
Some muslim mystics believe that there's no Eden or such. Just God and you unite with him, and become a part of him when you die.
Eden was most likely to have been a kings garden. a garden in a desert requires a huge input of wealth and man power to both create and maintain, something only the most wealthy could afford.
