How far back does the snake story go?
Suppose for a moment that God’s timeframe is longer than ours and that he has gone through multiple worlds before ours.
Suppose that every 50 years there's a whole new world full of an entirely different set of adults, and every few thousand or million years an entirely new world of earthlings.
Suppose that, being the tiniest of creatures, members of a species that is literally still trying to figure out what to do with its dick, we lack the objectivity, the perspective, the knowledge, and the imagination to figure out much of what came before us (and certainly not what will come after) and thus we give the whole thing short shrift.
Suppose however that our divinely inspired (genetic & memetic) ancestors left us some written information to be used as clues…
If God’s most recent other world, say of mighty reptiles, ended in destruction due to some incorrigible flaw, before our own Class and Species was given dominion, might we not be provided a clue?
The answer is, “I don't know”. On the one hand it seems literally impossible for us to imagine the dinosaurs actually being in The Bible.
On the other hand, it sure seems wild that the Early History portion of the Bible should so accurately name the prior rex species and its degradation with such astonishing accuracy!
