The serpent was the hero in the story of the garden of Eden.
The egotistical man child was the equivalent of a psychopathic 10 year old with a couple hamsters in a cage where the best food is hooked up to a 12v battery.
Depends on how you look at it. My theory is that the "garden of Eden" is still barely around and being tended to by aboriginals in Australia, Africa, the Americas, and maybe oarts of Siberia. A few hundred years ago, more than 50% of the world would have still been the "garden of Eden," looking at it that way. I firmly believe that "the apple," is writing and bronze/ iron working.
If you're hoping for a sustainable society, The Iroquois Six Nations did it for 15,000-25,000 years. In that way, the serpent isn't the hero, so much as the foil.
