Someone once told me that we are on hell on earth because the devil is roaming on the earth like he owns and its ruler. When Adam and Eve were banished from the garden of Eden, the Bible didn't say the Garden was part of Earth or that earth wasn't hell. There is a lot of volcanoes that resembles Biblical and mythological descriptions of hell. Could we be actually living in hell or in Purgatory?

The devil would like for us to believe that.

For the believer this is the closest they will ever be to hell.

And for the non-believer this is the closest they will ever be to heaven.

The Bible does clearly say that The Garden of Eden was a real place. Adam, Eve, Noah and all the people we read about in the Bible are real people. At least the people that actually have a name are real people. I can understand why people would get confused because the Bible has many layers of meaning. This is really just a reflection of people's lack of understanding in the message God has for us in the Bible.
