Snakes are long, limbless, scaly reptiles which slither upon the ground and sometimes swim in water. Some snakes are poisonous. Snakes are abundant in warmer climates, and many of them are quite harmless to man.
The origin of snakes: Creationists View
Snakes are a group of animals that have frustrated evolutionists for many years. They are anatomically unlike any other vertebrate and can hybridize regularly, supporting the notion that they are a apoobaramin. Snakes can be classified into three families based on hydridization data: Boidae (boas and pythons), Colubridae (colubrid snakes), and Viperidae (Vipers). Since hydrids can be formed within each family, but not between any family, each of the three can be classified as a holobaramin, suggesting that an ancestral pair for each family was present on Noah's Ark. Other research suggest multiple holobaramins in each family suggesting up to 12 snake pairs on the Ark during the Flood.[1]
