And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
(Genesis 2:8-9) KJV
Here’s an example of a common Christian-bait question:
- IF Adam had fruit to eat in the garden of Eden,
- AND the other animals were all herbivores,
- THEN why do snakes have venomous fangs?
The subtlety of this is sublime. It’s a simple practical question. It demonstrates mastery of how to use Biblical content to make the Bible look like illogical gibberish which was written by Bronze-age goat herders who didn’t know where the sun went at night. Here are the apparent inconsistencies:
- Venomous fangs allow snakes to paralyze their prey,
- why would a snake need to paralyze a piece of fruit?
Heaven help the hapless Christian who attempts to rationalize this from within the popular science paradigm (SciPop). It’s why we end up looking stupid. There are a couple of things about this which we can solve because we’re using spherogenetic systematics in the Biblical paradigm.

What was the serpent in the garden of Eden? We propose that the serpent in Genesis 3 was a bipedal reptilian humanoid.
