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.
I suspect that a good case could be made for long lizards with really short legs.

Oh please paganmama80. Could you please consider some extra Biblical education? The Book of Genesis was written over 3,000 years ago. And we have copies of Genesis found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. And these copies are over 2,000 years old. And the story of Eve in the garden with the Serpent, will be found in the Book of Genesis. Our present day Bible may not of been organized as it is today. Yet the writings have existed for thousands of years.

I do think that for you to take a fossil and only see one part of the picture is cherry picking. A fossil with legs and ignore what many scientists have said. More then one fossil has been found and scientists have come to the same conclusions.

What to do ? Go with fossils that have been found and dated and studied by scientists who came to many of the same conclusions, or go with a fossil and a bible story.

So now I will politely bow out of this conversation because I am now spinning my wheels. You and I just need to agree to disagree.




The fossil shows a snake with rear legs. THOSE ARE THE FACTS. The Bible stated that snakes did not always crawl on their belly. THAT IS A FACT AS WELL. Only in recent times has fossil evidence revealed that snakes once had legs. Now if you want to ignore those facts. Then you must ignore both science, and the Bible. Because science and the Bible are both telling us the samething. The assumption of time, is not the question. The real question here is. Is there evidence that would suggest that snakes did not always crawl on their belly?

The bible also says that men eventually die when nailed to a cross... so that must mean water can be turned into wine by MAGIC!

It is useless to argue such a childish argument to those who are rational thinkers.

Of course if the Bible offers us advanced knowledged and it is confirmed to be a fact. Non believers will always consider such evidence childish. Even if the evidence is TRUE. And is that because non believers only believe a rational thinker would ignore the truth? Especially it it confirms a Biblical truth.
