The Gift of Snakes

I was curious today about why God would possibly put so many deadly poisonous snakes on the planet. Asking the question yielded an interesting answer:

A dozen diagnostic tests and drugs have been derived from snake venom. Drugs to treat high blood pressure and cardio disorders have come to us from a Brazilian snake.

There are 3,000 snakes in the world, and of those, 650 are poisonous-but we are discovering new species all the time, so who knows what ELSE is out there? You've heard that Australia has the deadliest snakes in the world? Well-true! THey have not one, but 10 of THE deadliest. Whoa. Lucky Aussieland.

They are experimenting with snake venom to cure cancerous tumors.

Snake meat? Sure! Snake is tasty-just like chicken.
