Genesis 3:14
14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
So RoadGumby thinks God told Moses he screwed up on the original snake design and removed their legs.
And bmwcycle brings up something we all forgot. God ALSO took away snakes’ ability to talk and to process language, perhaps around the same time he took away their legs.
Furthermore, I don’t know of any snakes that can subsist on eating dust either.
So... We can believe all those silly lyricisms written by bronze-age goat herders with no understanding of modern biology, or we can actually learn something and become fascinated by it for what it is.
It’s everyone’s choice.
