“Nude Florida man and wife are evicted from landlord's property after ‘serpent’ told them to steal fruit” might seem like a made-up headline — but it’s what happened according to one preacher.

Elvy Callaway has long proclaimed the biblicial Garden of Eden is not in the Middle East as previously believed, but in the humid swamps of central Florida. His claims were first made decades ago but are now brought back to the spotlight thanks to a report from News6 Orlando.

Torreya State Park, approximately 47 miles east of Tallahassee, Florida, is home to some of the oldest trees on Earth, dating back 160 million years. The Florida Torreya trees — called “stinking cedars” for the odor that occurs when they're cut or bruised — are rare now. Only 200 survive today, many of which are protected at the state park.

It’s their age that led Callaway to declare the area the home to Adam and Eve.

Callaway was a retired lawyer and a minister in the mid-1900s. After studying the region, he determined that the area matched the Biblical description of the Garden of Eden’s location.

“The Garden of Eden, east and west, is not over 10 miles wide, paralleling the (Apalachicola) River from Chattahoochee down to Bristol,” he told a media outlet in 1972.

According to the Book of Genesis, the Garden of Eden was located where a single river split into four heads. Callaway concluded that there are only two places on Earth that match that description — the Apalachicola River in Florida, or another river in Siberia.…..
