Simple answer to this, who says God cursed more than the serpent that tempted Eve, God created Lucifer. I do not believe that snakes eat the dust of the ground anymore than a legless lizard. The curse was on one legged creature, no more and no less.

How disingenuous of you,
3 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made.
14 And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Clearly if god had been speaking of only that "one" single snake/satan, he would have not spoken about the "seed" phrases.
In addition, if an animal is not evolved to move upon their belly as a snake does, their musculature doesn't withstand the new form of locomotion and the animal dies. If you cut the legs off of your cow, the cow dies, she doesn't just learn to cope with the loss of her legs and start wiggling to and fro.
It's completely childish to put forth such silly apologies forth to make the story sensible. It is so obviously written by an ancient mid eastern goat herder and not some all knowing god.
