Did you also know that when a snake is placed inside a hyperbaric chamber its venom becomes nontoxic.
You may wonder why? The reason is because venom is a toxin that is created from BACTERIA!
Bacterial Protein Toxins

But this is not true, which is one reason why the link you have provided does not say that it is true.
The genes for snake toxins have been identified. Guess what, they're in the genomes of snakes, not of imaginary symbiotic bacteria.
If you'd even been interested in this subject for thirty seconds or so, you'd know this. Google is your friend here.

Dr Adequate, you fail miserably to comprehend! The wheel is turning but the hampster is dead!
Everyone can see the idiosyncrasies in your posts. The open-minded see the truth in different things: the narrow-minded see only the differences.
Better luck in your next posting.
What are you talking about? What does open-mindedness have to do with it?
Snake venom doesn't come from bacteria.
A simple glance at wikipedia could've told you that:
quote:
Snake venom is highly modified saliva that is produced by special glands of certain species of snakes.
...
Snake venom consists of proteins, enzymes, substances with a cytotoxic effect, neurotoxins and coagulants.
  • Phosphodiesterases are used to interfere with the prey's cardiac system, mainly to lower the blood pressure.
  • Phospholipase A2 causes hemolysis through esterolysis of red cell membranes and promotes muscle necrosis.[1]
  • Snake venom inhibits cholinesterase to make the prey lose muscle control.
  • Hyaluronidase increases tissue permeability to increase the rate that other enzymes are absorbed into the prey's tissues.
  • Amino acid oxidases and proteases are used for digestion. Amino acid oxidase also triggers some other enzymes and is responsible for the yellow color of the venom of some species.
  • Snake venom often contains ATPases which are used for breaking down ATP to disrupt the prey's energy fuel use.

    A simple glance at wikipedia could've told you that:
    Move beyond wikipedia in understanding just what snake venom is:
    Bacterial Protein Toxins
    One of the rules here is not to debate by link. I shouldn't have to dig through your sources to find support for your claims.
    That link does not say that snake venom comes from bacteria.
    Quote that link, like I did for mine, on where it says snake venom comes from bacteria.

    You should spend more time providing support for your assertions rather than just jumping from one to the other without any.
    You're really loosing credibility by doing that.

    I found that to be a helluva contribution.
    You got caught plagiarizing.
    You Gish-Gallop and you refuse to support your assertions. And yet you are promoting your book as something profound and claiming you have evidenced god.
    You have no credibility.

    I can't really get away with riding my dirtbike while I'm at work...
    But what a supprise you changing the subject again... yeah, I prolly wouldn't want to discuss my lack of credibility either.
    Especially if I'm promoting my book.
    ABE:
    Coming from someone who obviously spends most of his days trolling this page instead of riding his dirt bike
    1st off, judging someone by their advatar is about as ghey as it gets.
    2nd, if you click on my profile you can see I average 2.3 messages a day.
    "most of my days...."
    Is there anything you can't be wrong about?
    Is there anything you can be right about? At all?
    Just once?
    What color is grass?
