The serpent, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life.

RE: The serpent, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life.
The story says that the serpent was more crafty than any other animal. Even before Satan went bad and Adam and Eve sinned, the fucking animals were misusing their free will!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
