Is the Garden of Eden on the Moon?

So, where are the suggested locations of Eden?
The Garden of Eden is in heaven.
Man has long believed that heaven is in a state of perfect bliss—without troubles and the gamboling demons. The Bible describes heaven in superlative terms, of God in His exalted throne, and of multitude of worshipful angels.
However, there is no mention of land surface in heaven, or of verdant vegetation. Yet, this paradise setting seems to man, the perfect location of Eden.
These believers forget that the Bible says that Adam and Eve were created and put in a well-watered garden—the names of the waters are rivers on earth, not in heaven.
The Garden of Eden is on a high mountain.
The altitude of high mountains has equally fascinated humankind as a place of bliss compared to their troubled terrain. It is no wonder then that humans have taken to the dangerous pastime of mountaineering to escape the drudgery of life in the lower land. There must be something of interest to discover up there, and that includes Eden and the tree of life.
But they did not remember that Eden was enclosed by mountains—it was not on top of a mountain.
Besides, trees don’t grow on mountains.
The Garden of Eden is in the North Pole.
The North Pole is the northernmost part of the earth. It is an uninhabited cold part of the earth, only perfect for polar bears, some fish, and birds.
Also called the Geographic North Pole, or the Terrestrial North Pole, the North Pole is perhaps one of the strangest places on earth. In that place, all directions face south, all longitudinal lines merge there, there is no time in the North Pole, and sun rise and sun set take place once a year.
The geographic oddity of the North Pole might have led to the supposition that the Garden of Eden resides there.
There are, however, forbidding factors for such a claim. The North Pole is covered with ice—trees don’t grow on ice. And the nearest land to the North Pole is Kaffeflubben Island, 700 kilometers off the northern coast of Greenland.
The Garden of Eden is in the South Pole.
The South Pole, situated in Antarctica, is antipodal to the North Pole. Known as the Geographic South Pole, or the Terrestrial South Pole, it is the most southern part of the earth.
The South Pole is icy, formless and dry, and without any human, animal, or plant habitation. All longitudinal lines converge there and point north, time is absent in the South Pole, and half of the year is covered in darkness.
It is therefore foolhardy for anyone to suggest this inhospitable terrain as the traditional location of the Garden of Eden and the tree of life. Just as no one can survive there, Adam and Eve could not equally have lived there.
The lack of plant and animal life is also a minus in the theory.
The Garden of Eden is in the Moon.
Earth’s only satellite, the moon, has been fingered as a possible location of Eden.
It has inspired the muses and myths, which include the Man in the Moon, the witch with the sticks, including rabbits, hare, frog, and dragon tales.
These stories persisted until two American astronauts landed there in 1969. They saw no humans, animals or trees, but mountains, craters, molten lava, and without weather or an atmosphere.
Eden or the tree of life was not there. Adam and his wife couldn’t have lived there.
