Has anybody ever met this Straw man? Robbie in particular is obsessed with the fellow. He seems to pop up quite a lot in these forums and usually has an extreme view or says something easily refuted.
As an aside, Robbie has put forward the assertion that earthquakes never occurred before the first world war. This is a ridiculous assertion that is easily refuted.

'Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
He seized the dragon the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years. - Rev 20:2
It was a serpent, not a snake.

I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts are busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for my
Individdle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts that you'll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I, could tell you why
The oceans near the shore
I could think of things I'd never
Thunk before,
And then I'd sit down and think some more.
I would not be just a muffin',
My head all full of stuffin',
My heart all full of pain;
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be
Even worthy even you
If I only had a brain.

.
1. a large snake.
2. a sly or treacherous person, especially one who exploits a position of trust in order to betray it.
If not a snake you are therefore you are going with definition "2".
