Of course this is just a clarification of earlier reports suggesting God brought an animal circus to town tempting Adam with a helpmeet before Adam told God to fuck off and only then did the Almighty create a woman from a rib. You must realize that the dust story doesn't clarify shit.

The story in Genesis reports that the snake talks. Where in this fossil does the 'snake' have a larynx? So much for science proving your fantasy. Other apes have proven a 500 word vocabulary through signs; however, they can't be vocalized because of the throat position of the larynx. Other apes have them, but can't speak; snakes don't have them.

Alas, the fossil being paraded proves evolution and not the Bible. Amusing though; talking snake fucks over another.

In the movie shriek a donkey and ginger bread man speak... So when did animated characters develop a larynx?
-or are you just unfamiliar with the concept of a voice over?

If we can voice to animated pictures well enough to create an illusion that generates hundreds of millions of dollars, how then does it become unthinkable when a more advanced being does it to us?

First you would need to prove these advanced beings actually exist, which so far you and your ilk have laughably, cataclysmically failed to do.

Oh wait, are you trying to say this proves your story about your Gaud taking the limbs from snakes as punishment? That I would deny.

First off, you would need to prove that snakes still had these limbs at the dawn of human history, or at least whenever the "Eden" story is supposed to have taken place. Then you'd have to prove that all snakes stopped having limbs at around the exact same time in history, and it would have to be after the earliest humans showed up, at least. Then it would probably help to be able to prove that these things could talk. If you're suggesting that one snake only talked because of Satan's magic, then you'd have to prove that Satan exists, and/or that it's possible to make snakes talk with magic. Good luck.

So yeah...while it does seem that this fossil is re-sculpting how we think about the evolution of snakes, it in no way proves that Gaud took the legs from snakes because Satan happened to use one for an evil deed one time.

Ah, no.

All this story does for me is to poop on those who I've argued in the past who claim snakes never had legs therefore the story of the legged snake in the garden is yet another 'proof' that the Genesis account is false. That's it that's all.

This is just one more piece of a greater puzzle.

Except Genesis gives an account of a six thousand year old earth, and the Tetrapodophis  fossil was dated sometime in the cretaceous period 110-120 million years ago. I'm not sure how you think that helps your case.

Actually Genesis does not tell us how old the earth is.
Your 6000ish years are determined by counting back the various generations to Cain and able. Which then assumes that Adam and Eve also lived a single life time. When in fact their is no time line given between the last day of creation and the fall of man. Between Genesis 2&3 all of "evolution" could have happened outside the garden.

Proof of God is not a philosophy or object. It is a destination. To find God all one need do is follow the instructions in the bible.

I'd rather slather my testicles in syrup and teabag a hornet's nest than follow that despicable collection of delusions, thank you.

I re-iterate - you got nothin'.

How many times do I have to point out the fact Christians are not the only religion to either attempt to debunk science, then when they can't, they try to co-opt science. I have seen this tactic from fans of all major religions.

Only science confirms science, and only science tests and falsifies through peer review. Science does not prop up old comic books of any religion.

Snakes never had legs. Their ancestors might have, a long time ago, but those animals wouldn't have been snakes. Kind of like how humans never walked on all fours.

Learn to evolution.

No thanks. It instructs you to stone people to death including children.

^Because you know it's true. Praying and religion is the lazy mans way of waiting for shit to get better
instead of making shit better yourself hoping something or someone makes it better for you.  You want
things to get better don't pray about it do shit. This is why islam piggy backs off of science findings
just to stay relevant soon islam too will die out.

Give how badly user manuals are usually written, the bible certainly isn't an exemption.
