The talking snake story, that fairy tale, has been blown out of proportion by it being spun into a catch all for all that ails us and the hopes to cure all, cemented into the world;s memory. Start another development of the plot?
Adam, made in God's image, therefore in the likeness of a very jealous individual, would have reacted badly to another, possibly male , naked individual near her. This is the French scenario ( Le serpent). Now with a german Garden of Eden, another lady , ( Die Schlange ), naked, would open totally different, interesting plots, with Eve the jealous one and Adam no doubt rising to that occasion, Either of these new individuals could have a fertile future, (after all the pre-diluvian angels did ),- limited only by the scope of the world's fertile imagination.
Makes you wish for the invention of a pill to stop the conception of such useless nonsense. Enough damage done by the original .
