When Eve screwed up and spoke to the snake in the Garden of Eden, it had
legs. This is what the Bible tells us. Now scientists have described
what they say is the first known fossil of a four-legged snake (which
was hidden for decades) that stunned scientists (of course)—and is
definitely igniting controversy.
The world’s first 4 legged known snake
discovered in Brazil, proves that snakes walked on foot, instead of
crawling on their bellies. This is exactly what the Bible declared in
Genesis 3:14, that snakes had legs. Here is the photo of the fossil
showing obvious legs:
This is a close up of Tetrapodophis amplectus (four legged snake)
“Looks
like a snake to me,” says Jacques Gauthier of the Peabody Museum of
Natural History at Yale University. “The long body and reduced limbs,
along with the bony supports in the pelvis for lymph hearts to pump
blood back to the heart, are consistent with being a snake,” he says.
The
fossil had resided in a private collection for several decades before
it gained the attention of team member David Martill of the University
of Portsmouth. He stumbled across the specimen during a field trip with
students to Museum Solnhofen in Germany. No notes about when or where it
was collected are available, the researchers say. But certain
characteristics of the limestone that entombed the fossil, as well as
the distinct orange-brown color of the bones themselves, strongly
suggest it came from a particular area of northeastern Brazil, Longrich
says.
While the evolutionists claim that snakes came from marine
lizards, the new discovery buries and debunks the old theory, and now
they say that this suborder may have ‘evolved’ from burrowing, rather
than marine, ancestors. In other words, the snake has always been a land
creature that seem to have devolved to loosing its legs (while on land)
and is in fact as scientists now conclude “an ancestor of
modern-day snakes” which:
maintains many classic snake features, such as a short snout, long braincase, elongated body, scales, fanged teeth and a flexible jaw to swallow large prey. It also maintains the typical vertebrae structure seen in modern-day snakes that allows for the extreme flexibility required to constrict prey. The main, glaring difference is Tetrapodophis‘s four limbs .
So the only difference between this ancient snake and the modern one is the legs.
