Eden has always been described as heaven on Earth. If it was, with all the good things there, shouldn't a murder a mishap in the so-called paradise?

I really do not understand the question but Eden is a true paradise as has been described. However if I get the above question correctly, it would be "shouldn't a murder be a mishap in the garden of Eden" and my answer to that would be the murder couldn't have taken place in the garden of Eden as Adam and Eve had already been thrown out even before they had children.

I agree with the statement above. Eden was a true paradise. The only reason the first murder was able to be committed in the first place is because Adam and Eve were removed from their paradise and they and their children were doomed to live the rest of their lives on imperfect soil.

I do not really understand the question. But according to the Bible, the Garden of Eden was described as Heaven on Earth, which means something like a paradise. My own question is: is the Garden of Eden on planet earth. if yes where?

Yes eden is a true paradise. Although the question was not clear. In the Bible it was described such, it is believed by some to be in Africa around Botswana.

I agree with the above: Eden is definitely a true paradise on Earth but Adam and Eve are thrown out of it so the first murder isn't in paradise, it is just on Earth

Anyway, your question should be, "if Eden was indeed heaven on earth, then why did the murder occur?"
The truth is that the incident of Cain and Abel did not occur in the Garden of Eden. Remember that God chased Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.

Yes it was. That's why God had to throw Adam and Eve out of it when they disobeyed Him.

Yes, Eden is a true paradise. Because Adam and Eve were already thrown out though the murder shouldn’t really be in Eden, and instead was simply on Earth.

The way it is described in the Bible, yes, Eden is a real paradise. Adam and Eve were thrown out of Eden before they had a family, meaning there was no murder committed in the garden of Eden. Though I'm not really sure of the question.

I believe it was because it had everything the occupants wanted at the time

The issue of murder happened after the fall of man had transpired and Adam and Eve already expelled from the garden.

Yes, I can say it's a paradise created by God on the Earth. But Adam and Eve fail to make it serve it's purpose.

I think that, from a modern perspective, maybe not. But life was born out of Eden, so in that sense it is quite a paradise.
