Where is the Garden of Eden?

      Back on August 5 I mentioned that the Garden of Eden is under 300 ft of water. Some people have postulated that the Garden of Eden was located in an area that has been inundated by rising sea waters after the period of flooding   following the massive release of methane due to underwater landslides into methane clathrates.  Methane clathrates are a form of ice with methane and other hydrocarbons locked into the structure. Methane clathrates are unstable and disturbances can result in the release of large amounts of methane.This phenomenon has resulted in the disappearance of ships in the "Bermuda triangle" and the North Sea. Minor earthquakes in this area can result in the release of significant amounts of methane.  If this occurs when a ship is above the release the ship will suddenly sink. One explanation for the disappearance of the Sulphur Queen in 1963 relies on this phenomenon. This subject is a cause for debate in academic circles. Methane releases are known to occur in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida.  If the release of gas results in an explosion because of static electricity it can result in a shock wave that feels like a small earthquake. These shocks occur a few times a year.I live twenty plus miles inland and they are quite noticeable. I don't know if all experts agree as to the explanation of these shocks, but I know that it seems to be the best available one.
