1. Is adam in heaven or hell? Was he ever forgiven?
Maybe neither, since he was returned to dust?

2. Where is Eden? Genesis did not say that it was destroyed, rather guarded from trespass by some barrier (flaming sword I think). So why can't we find it, if not enter it?

From a Catholic standpoint: Adam would have been forgiven, on the second day of Christ's death. As was everyone who was alive and died before Christ. (And everyone, for that matter, in general.)

Of course, I'm not a fundamentalist, and I believe in evolution; not in the literal "adam" sense; but as Genesis being a parable -- especially creation.

According to the bible, Adam is dead and buried. He is not in either heaven nor hell. He is in the same place all dead people go to....in the ground.

Was he forgiven ?..I don't know...

As far as Eden...I don't know. But I do know that it is gaurded by angels, so no, no one can enter.

Eden was guarded by Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way. Cherub is singular. There are at least two of that order of angels guarding Eden.

By replying that Eden is gaurded by angels, do u mean u believe in God too? I mean, if u believe in angels, u should believe in their Creator as well.
