Your question for me is like the garden of eden, the fact that adam and eve were evicted from it must mean there was an existence outside of it with animals, horticulture and who knows mankind as well....I mean where do you think the children of adam and eve found husbands and wives from....did this existence outside of eden exist all the time or created only when god found need to evict from eden?

I have one theory suggesting the mankind which evolved from animals i.e. the evolution process science would have us believe relates to the life outside of eden...also very pertinent for these times was biblical man lived for hundreds of years as opposed to the 80 odd we do now - this gives more time for the man created in gods image in ededn to interact with those who evolved i.e. neanderthals....dare I say the devils creation.

I haven't yet married all the timescales but for now I rest in the belief that the two crossed paths somewhere.

So using this 'logic' hell was created after mans disloyalty to god, or when god had to cast the blaspheming angel out from heaven, he created a place there and then to put him.
