Obviously the story is a metaphor....

To painfully put it in a nutshell... The nature of man is to be godlike. Unfortunately, we went about it the wrong way; through disobedience.

And the snake? The first experiment in [free will] that went totally wrong.... for the snake that is! But there needs to be a fall guy for a happy ending. And he'll have plenty of company someday.
