Their mommy and daddy SNAKES gave them to them?
How does a duckbill platypus have a bill and lay eggs. It seems reasonable to decide that a duckbill platypus is a transitional form between a bird and a mammal.
Except I have been assured from my high-school biology on to the present day that no biologist considers it so. It's just a mammal that has a duck's bill and lays eggs.
I believe the problem that keeps these threads alive is how the duck-billed platypus came to be a duck-billed platypus.
And the same would be true of snakes with legs.
Shalom.
Obviously. It's evidence that if you go back far enough, the snakes' ancestors had actual functional legs.

It's roughly the same shpe as a duck's bill, but anatomically it's quite different - for one thing its an electrosnsory organ. The platypus is actually a mammal that retains some reptilian features (like the reptile-like, as opposed to bird-like eggs, and many details of its skeletal structure)
Check this out Oolon Colluphid's Guide to Creation. Follow the links to find many examples of things like snake legs: platypus teeth (which never erupt), baleen whale teeth (which are reabsorsbed before birth), marsupial egg teeth (which are never used), etc etc
