This question has always made me question the bible. I dont like to question I something I belive in but I just dont understand. If a snake told eve to eeat a apple off the tree, Then that must mean that snakes had some type of communcation with a human being. Why dont they still do that to this day or have had reports of snakes communcating with a person?
That was the Garden of Eden, prior to Eve's pure mind being corrupted. Anything was possible.
Also, it wasn't just an ordinary snake, 'twas the devil (http://firepile.com/images/Robotdevil.jpg)!
Both Rabbit and Deuce are correct.
Who is this..."Rabbit"...you speak of?

I used to know all this stuff, but.. If Eve's mind was corrupted, who told the story?

Adam?...
It was dictated to Moses by God, on Mount Sinai.
I've always been curious as to why Satan chose to come in the form of a serpent.

Oh yeah, I forgot about God talking directly to people.

Because snakes are metal, and Satan is metal. duh.
Serpents are reguarded as poisonous and downright evil (except to those who have pet snakes, but I think those people are evil too..), thus a good personification of him. He could have just desended from heaven as an angel, which I don't understand why he didn't, but eh. Satan's a retard anyhow.
To CrAz3D, at that time, snakes did have legs. Quoth the bible! (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:14;&version=31;)
I think snakes could talk as well, because.. hey, why not? But even if they couldn't, Satan (being an angel) could simply shapeshift (yay, druids!) into a snake and talk anyhow (which he did).
For you all, Genesis chapter 3 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203;&version=31;).
Quotereports of snakes communcating with a person?
Parselmouth? :)
Satan didn't exist until the New Testament. The snake in Genesis is just a snake.

Right..
Search the Old Testament for "Satan" or "Lucifer" or "angel". See what comes up.
