GRANTED IF YOU DON"T BELIEVE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN WE ALREADY KNOW YOUR ANSWER SO IT IS DULY NOTED - THE GARDEN OF EDEN NEVER EXISTED AND THE FLOOD NEVER HAPPENED. THERE!
Okay, with what we know about floods they do a lot of damage when they roll through. If there was a world consuming flood wouldn't it completely destroy rivers, flora, and environmental ecosystems. Also granted that there was a lot of water so that much of the earth was covered and it took them time to find mount Ararat, They could have been 40 days away from where ever they were originally from, which would be largely based on winds and currents created by the large body of water which covered the earth. Also the world was in Pangaea. And the receding flood would have caused further changes to the landscape as well, say carving out a new Tigris and Euphrates river and creating Mesopotamia.
To Edit this:
Floods cause lots of damage to landscape
This flood covered the whole earth in 40 days
Currents probably disturbed the landscape too
Currents and winds took Noah from whereever he was to somewhere knew
Receding flood carved new landscape
Eden probably not in the Middle East
