Really and why do you think it was written then?

However a recent finding now shows us that yes snakes in the past did have legs. Now science will tell you this is a riddle. Their question will be. "Why do these snake species have hind limbs? If legs were the norm for snake ancestors, it would make sense to see the species advanced anatomy as only superficially similar to more modern snakes. On the other hand, the stubby limbs on the fossil snakes might represent an evolutionary reversal.

The fact that these snake fossils have been found with legs, only confirms the Biblical account. And the belief by science that snakes not having legs today might be an evolutionary reversal. Is only believed, because they have ignored what the God of the Bible already stated.

New Fossil Snake With Legs, Reported In <i>Science</i>

Snakes having legs first stated in the Bible, and now confirmed by science.
It's good to see Christians leaving the swamp of ignorance for the light of reality.

Men are Four:

He who knows and
knows that he knows,
He is wise - follow him.

He who knows and
knows not that he knows,
He is asleep - awaken him.

He who knows not and
knows that he knows not,
He is simple - teach him.

He who knows not and
knows not that he knows not,
He is a fool - shun him.

Apothegm (Jaafar ibn Muhammad )

Of course

Muhammad was very aware of the bible and he was in contact with Christians. He was versed in the bible due to that. He also got many of the stories turned around. Whether he did that on purpose is the question. Certainly there are bible stories that don't match either. So if stories are changed is it due to there being different writers, or the writer having an agenda?
Thanks for explaining

There are some who may believe talking birds are only found in fairy tales as well. Yet that would only be because of their ignorance.
