Remember, the king of Tyre was said to have lived in the Garden of Eden and he got on the wrong side of the Emperor. The Egyptian Pharaohs had a figure of a serpent on their crown.
In essence the Adam & Eve story is just a fictionalized account of a real event that happened to some unnamed ancient political bigwigs. The story is a lot easier to remember as fiction than it wold have been using real names.
After all, only insane people believe that a real snake can talk using human language. Now if it had been a parrot....
You have little understanding of the scriptures, you've proved this over and over. The King of Tyre wasn't in the Garden and there was no snake in the Garden either.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
