Science as a whole has left me searching not satisfied in my questions.I have no problem with that. At least in principle. But there is a point at which not being satisfied is a symptom of refusing to eat.
When you discuss snakes eating dust you are quite willing to accept that snakes do not depend on dust for nourishment. You accept this perhaps because you have witnessed snakes eating frogs, mice or whatever. Perhaps you have studied snakes in captivity and calculated their caloric intake from various sources.
But I doubt this. I suspect you accept the statements of scientists who have done these studies. So your acceptance that snakes really live by eating other animals is really based of faith. Actually it is probably a religion.

I base my opinion on snakes and their eating habits upon observable fact. Having been around snakes, seen actual footage of snakes eating (I am a avid nature show viewer) and texts I have read.
I do have faith that the snakes are not simply pulling the wool over my eyes. I guess they could be faking the whole display and in fact enjoy dirt under the cover of burrow.
