But since it is no longer there, and man was kicked out and didn't "destroy" it, what happened? Did God destroy it? But according to your post, that would make God evil. Or perhaps, the desert eventually took over, over time, just as ongoing cycles of glaciation and interglacial thaws are dominating our climate. I'd hate to think God turned his back on his children and grandchildren.

It is still there.
