.The Bible records the fact of Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:23,24, (NIV) "So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." This was before Adam and Eve had any children.
