In summary, in the Bible, God cursed the snake for deceiving Eve and causing the fall of mankind. As part of the curse, the snake was forced to crawl on its belly and eat dust for the rest of its life. This is supported by scientific evidence that suggests snakes evolved from legged lizards. However, the concept of being cursed and eating dust may not be scientifically accurate.

Actually, this is one part of the bible that isn't so bad, scientifically speaking. It is vey likely that snakes evolved from some legged lizard - as shown by studies of snake bone structure, and the discovery of some snakes/lizards with degenerated limbs.
Not quite so sure about the "cursed" and "eat dust" bit though...
