I'm talking about the Genesis story, not Milton.

God created the serpent and left him to roam around in the garden knowing 
full well what he would do.  WHY?  That's like leaving your four year old 
boy to be babysat by a priest!  And with foreknowlege he is to blame because 
he created the situation, and could have created it ia any number of other 
ways.  It's very simple, but you can have it your way if you want...
