I find it amazing that some people genuinely believe that all the bad in the world is due to the interactions of a woman, talking snake and a dodgy piece of fruit!
Some issues I have with this account
a) God deliberately puts a temptation there, that was just asking for trouble
b) God must have known Eve was having a tete a tete with a linguistic, sneaky snake
c) At no point does God intervene and stop the whole incident
d) God's complete overreaction to the whole thing
e) The snakes punishment which to me does not seem like much of a punishment given its role in the whole thing
Does Genesis at any point actually say that the snake was possessed by Satan? Or does this explanation only come into effect in further books in the bible?
