The bible may be about something other then you or they understand. Their interpretation is faulty and we find it so. When studying the entire book we find the snake represents deception. (No negatives intended).

Their god walked in the garden. He spoke to people, guided the sun, dropped mana from the heavens. No, this god lived right here on terra firma until the faithful realized that no one was buying it. Then that fucker just had to die..lol. The bible is a collection of religious myth, legend, fable, and erotic poetry ffs. If there was ever a factoid buried in the pages it's lost forever. Buried under embellishments and edits.
