and a smattering of other religions for 35 years. The Sumerian accounts of how their civilization came about are fascinating. The Bible was obviously based on beliefs going back thousands of years before it was written. Interesting that so many of the tales in the OT are essentially duplicates of those told in nations the Hebrews once lived in....

As for the poor snake, he was the one telling the truth in Genesis.
