All women were cursed with painful chilbirth and men cursed to have to work the land to reap from it. Have you ever seen an animal give birth? Completely calm, and painless.... that is the way it was supposed to be for us too... but b/c of ONE woman now we all have to suffer. Not sure about the vocal cords though... yes flip all snakes were cursed for the action of one… is that a new concept for you?

As you read Genesis, snakes were created something like lizards - long, thin with legs of some some kind. Then Satan posessed one of them, or took on the shape of one, and tempted Eve. And because of that God cursed all subsequent snakes, of all species to live on their bellies without legs? Is that about right? flip Hans -have I got this right?
