In India, they say, the serpent was the first of God's creatur | Thoughts Hub

In India, they say, the serpent was the first of God's creatures to appear, and the mountain dwellers say: No, God was the first to create, the soaring eagle. I am not with the Indians, nor with the people of the mountains, for I believe that the mystery came when God created human beings. Some soared like the eagles, and some, descended and crawled like the snakes.
