Ha, huh because.... Science says so!

You 'good' people doubt it.

Science proves it.

Fossils are lies planted by Satan to test our faith. I don't know why you'd give them any credence.

The idea that snakes used to have legs is not a new concept. Many species of snakes still have vestigial remnants of the limbs their ancestors used to have.

Oh wait, are you trying to say this proves your story about your Gaud taking the limbs from snakes as punishment? That I would deny.

First off, you would need to prove that snakes still had these limbs at the dawn of human history, or at least whenever the "Eden" story is supposed to have taken place. Then you'd have to prove that all snakes stopped having limbs at around the exact same time in history, and it would have to be after the earliest humans showed up, at least. Then it would probably help to be able to prove that these things could talk. If you're suggesting that one snake only talked because of Satan's magic, then you'd have to prove that Satan exists, and/or that it's possible to make snakes talk with magic. Good luck.

So yeah...while it does seem that this fossil is re-sculpting how we think about the evolution of snakes, it in no way proves that Gaud took the legs from snakes because Satan happened to use one for an evil deed one time.

Did it talk to "Eve," asshole?

Ah, no.

All this story does for me is to poop on those who I've argued in the past who claim snakes never had legs therefore the story of the legged snake in the garden is yet another 'proof' that the Genesis account is false. That's it that's all.

This is just one more piece of a greater puzzle.

No, smarty. That snake and all the other ones after where cursed to crawl on their Bellys... Doi

I see. Well, I can't account for other people not knowing shit about snakes, and this also doesn't really help your argument that much without the other proofs I mentioned. Otherwise, it's a cheap "I told you so" and basically nothing else.

The creature’s limbs were probably not used for locomotion, the researchers say, but rather for grasping prey, or perhaps for holding on to mating partners.

Was the serpent in the bible walking around?

So when they back up something you agree with, fossils weren't planted by satan to confuse us?
