The bible claims that snakes originally did not go about on their bellies. (Genesis 3:14) One should wonder how Moses could have known such a thing, as Moses would have never personally seen a snake with legs! But this is exactly what fossil evidence supports; that snakes have legged ancestors. This is contrary to the quazi-religious macroevolutionary theory which in the past claimed that snakes grew legs producing lizards... etc!
Many have mocked the bible for claiming the existence of a walking and talking snake. Though the serpent of today is a cursed replica of it's clever forbearer, it is a scientific fact that serpents once had hind legs. Moses establishes this point thousands of years before any evidence could verify it. This gives high credence to accepting that no only did the snake have hind legs but that it was the most clever of all the land animals. To this day animals can talk! An African gray parrot can talk at a five year old level in our spoken languages. A gorilla can talk in sign language at a three year old level. And researchers have discovered that dolphins have personal names... and when they examined the seeming chirps of ground hogs they discover a rich dialog used to describe colors and objects.
And this isn't even considering the fact that the bible says the snake was acting as a medium for a spirit. It is well known that spirits do not even need material creatures to manifest sounds and the spoken word (including moving objects)! You can watch a few of the 'paranormal' investigative shows now common on TV and you will see that they consistently record the communications of spirits in 'haunted' places throughout the world.
