: Do you think Adam, who was perfect and had named the animals, and was certainly aware of their limitations, wouldn't have questioned a snake talking?
When I was a JW I did wonder about that. I never found anyone who had a reasonable sounding answer. These days, a multitude of problems like this have convinced me that the Adam & Eve thing is a myth, and that Adam never existed. Do keep in mind that humans, or at least creatures that looked exactly like humans, have been around for at least 100,000 years. The fossil record shows that these creatures gradually evolved from ones that look progressivly less like modern humans the farther you go back in the fossil record.
As for Bibleman, I hope you know that he thinks he's literally the modern incarnation of the Messiah. That alone should give you pause about egging him on by giving him the attention he craves.
