AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on Genesis 3:14, where God curses the snake, leading to questions about whether snakes originally had legs before the curse. Participants explore the possibility of snakes evolving from legged lizards, supported by scientific studies on bone structure and the existence of some lizards with reduced limbs. The terminology used in the scripture, referring to the creature as a "snake" or "serpent," is also examined for clarity. While the evolutionary aspect aligns with scientific understanding, the implications of being "cursed" and "eating dust" remain uncertain. Overall, the conversation highlights the intersection of biblical text and evolutionary biology.

Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use?
