Hi all,
I’m Dan Morton, Glenn Morton’s son (oldest of his three!). Due to his health situation, which some of you may know about, he’s unable to respond or post now. We’re continuing to pray for his comfort.
I’m posting because he did finish the book and we helped him get it onto Kindle yesterday!
Finishing this book was hugely important to him, and we’re grateful it’s complete! I know he feels exceedingly grateful for the opportunity to have written it, as he does for the chance to engage with this community.
If you are interested in reading it, here’s the link:Eden Was Here: New Evidence for the Historicity of Genesis – Glenn Morton
While he may not be able to post, I’m certain he’d be honored to have you all consider his viewpoint and the evidence he presents.
Thank you and Best,

The one river leaves the spring at Eden (which will be explained as an artesian spring) leaves Eden and hits the flat land of the desiccated Med and splits with each of the splits going to a different river, thus sourcing or becoming a head-water of each river.
For those who want Eden above sea level, I know of no river system in the world where 1 spring feeds multiple rivers. Such a scenario would require exacting equal erosion of the spillways for each river. That is like balancing a pencil on its point. But in this deep basin, I can have 1 spring feed one river and have it split on the flat ground and feed other river systems.
In honor of the late @grmorton 's work, I thought I would collect some of his most interesting graphics:
This particular thread is full of his observations.

This is the only time in geologic history that the named rivers flow into the same place. (Sorry John, I don’t accept your interpret. of the Rivers.) It is amazing to me that the Biblical description of Eden is an exact match for any real geography but it matches that of 5.3 myr ago in the eastern Mediterranean region… The Tigris and Euphrates, the Gihon which encompasses Cush can only be the Nile, and the Pison which flowed out of Havilah which the Bible places in Arabia, all were in Eden. Their positions are marked on the PBS map below showing the locations I believe they entered the basin in based upon interpretations of 3D seismic data shown in the literature. That a river was at each of these locations is certain. One could of course squabble about the name. They do match what Scripture says about Eden.Picture here
The YouTube link in the image (from a PBS film) isn’t clickable … but I have typed it as live text below:
