Snakes with legs? E or C?

perhaps you should look into the academic worlds of biblical archaeology, and the study of the bible itself. i think you'll find that your ideas about the bible as history are the ones that are not supported academically. even the parts of the bible that were written as history aren't especially honest. perhaps asking where the bible talks about DNA would go a bit too far. let's start with the simple question.where does the bible say the serpent in genesis 3 had legs? god curses the serpent the crawl on its belly, which presumably means it was once upright, but where does it say this involved legs?perhaps you should read the book instead of making assumptions.

the vast majority of living people in the western world will tell you a wonderful story about adam eating an apple, which gets stuck in his throat, and thus a man's "adam's apple." a fair percentage of people you ask will tell you this story is in the bible, or at the very least that the fruit the bible says adam eats is an apple.neither is true. i think you need to release your mind from cultural assumptions and "common knowledge." instead, when we talk about the bible, let's start with the words that are actually on the page, before we go off half-cocked about whether something in the fossil records confirms something that the bible doesn't actually say. common sense does not say that snakes once had legs, according to genesis. there is no biological change indicated in the passage. simply a change in posture. that this implies that the snake's legs fell off is your particular assumption or interpretation. the text says nothing on the matter.
