Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
I have a theory that the Garden of Eden wasn't on Earth where described (around the tigris and euphrates river) but was in another universe or another dimension, or something like that. Is that heretical?

Re: Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
Also another "theory" is that those of us who find ourselves on earth, it's because when our soul was created in this parallel universe, we chose to sin, so got sent here to be born as babies into this messed-up time-space place. Just a theory, prolly not acceptable. I like to theorize

Re: Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
If your basis for your "theories" is anything other than Catholic teaching, then yes, you might be bordering on heresy.

Re: Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
Well I don't recall the bible saying, the day before the first day God created a parallel universe. Maybe I'm wrong

Re: Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
I think your theory would be compatable with mormonism, hope you don't go down that path. Stay strong stay Catholic.

Re: Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
When you turn away from truth you are in error. When you teach error as truth you commit heresy.

Re: Garden of Eden was in Another Universe
THe Garden of Eden was created on Earth, just like everything else. That is doctrine in the bible.

Please cite chapter and verse of the papal encyclical 
(Unless... this is your own PERSONAL interpretation of scripture?)
