Even so, in the nature.com article the snake with legs was still identified as a 'snake' first, with the qualifier 'with legs.' So Despie how you cheese might want to split 'hairs,' Genesis AND the Nature.com article are speaking of the same animal.
As far as 'my links' are concern I disagree. So now your turn. You Try again.
The claims you now have to support are twofold: firstly, that the Genesis account was talking about this specific animal (and no, simply asserting that does not do so) and secondly, that the Genesis account is remotely reflective of reality.
'Cause, see, there's actually more problems with the idea of the serpent than just that it has legs, or didn't you notice?
Again I point back to my first post to pink beard's comment. This is just one small piece of a larger puzzle. This thread is to simply reaffirm the one fact that Snakes did indeed have legs. This affirmation only speaks to those who use the argument 'snakes never had legs' to discount the genesis account. That it. That's all.

No, snakes didn't have legs, I don't know why this would be important either way, since it isn't a snake..but a dragon, in the garden, in your holy book. Shouldn't you be holding out for science to demonstrate that dragons existed?

No no, you made a specific claim in your last post, that the Genesis account was speaking of this precise variety of snake, and you've given no justification at all for that. You also said in your first post that the bible said it, and science proved it, which means that you also happen to think that this specific species of snake, which lived roughly 120 million years ago, before the advent of any language at all, knew how to speak, and I'd just love to know how you came to that conclusion.
Or should we just not take seriously the words that you say? Because you did say these things.

Like I said before, this doesn't 'affirm the genesis account.' It doesn't even help. These snakes lived millions of years before man, and still crawled around on their bellies, legs or not.

So was the "serpent" in the Eden story alone? Wasn't it a dick thing to do for god to punish the snake's brothers, sisters, and snake children because of the actions of this one snake?

This animal existed 120 MYA.
Humans did not exist 120 MYA.
There's a small problem with your timeline, Dripster.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Oh he's got an answer for that. It's epistemologically unjustifiable ad hoc nonsense, of course.

Because when it comes down to it trying to disprove facts is like punching a brick wall.

Don't be too hasty. Let's not forget that he also claimed that the talking snake was just like a cartoon voice-over. Perhaps god is testing us with his hand up Drich's ass in some morbid ventriloquist act.
