4. Williams believes the Garden of Eden is somewhere in Africa

When asked where he thinks the Garden of Eden is located, Williams said he believes there's evidence showing it's likely located in Africa based on the description provided in Genesis 2:10–14.

“Well, when you read the stories [in the Bible] the thing that strikes you is that it's so specific. Like it says things in talking about the Garden of Eden that, wait a minute, if I can't find what you're talking about this isn't even real. … Where the Garden of Eden was, there's, I think, four rivers that come from it and then it names two of them. Like I don't want to be specific because at least he's going to bring it up, but it's like the Nile and the Euphrates. So you know two of them and it's saying you know where the four meet. This is where it is. And yeah, my whole life I was like, this is really weird because at one period of time we're thinking no flood happens, there’s so many things that have lined up from these great religious books to where we can see that no, something happened here. Like something happened and these are stories of people telling stories that have [been] told to them for about a thousand years.

“This is why they were told. And that's … the difference between those of us that want to know the world's mysteries and conspiracy theorists. There's nothing to a conspiracy theorist, because you're not producing what you're using. But these world mysteries … that's harder to do. A lie is not something that people are going to repeat for generations on generations. It's being repeated like that because people have reason to believe it to be true. And as you go through history you see that those are the stories that we still talk about.”

According to the book of Genesis:  “A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold … The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” 

The apologetics website Got Questions notes that the exact location of the Garden of Eden is unknown, yet, "If the Tigris and Euphrates mentioned are the same rivers by those names today, that would put the Garden of Eden somewhere in the Middle East, likely in Iraq."
