interesting

“So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you will be punished. You singled out from all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth to be cursed. You will grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling along on your belly…” Gen 3:14
…Okay that that part always confused me. If it was cursed to slither on its belly, that implies it didn’t before. So what was a “serpent” like before the fall?
Well I was reading an article about evolution in National Geographic and was intrigued when it stated, “…some snakes (notably boa constrictors) carry the rudiments of a pelvis and tiny legs buried inside their sleek profiles….” (November 2004, pg20.)
Cool huh?
So often people pit science and religion against one another. Sometimes scientific discoveries can support religious ideas.
