Snake in Hebrew NAHACH comes from the root to guess, which means to predict things that may logically occur, therefore it is possible that it was actually an intelligent creature that knew how to use logic
Enlightenment? Yeah, I don’t think so. The serpent offered them knowledge of evil. On the 7th day God rested and said everything was GOOD, the serpent said you’ll know both GOOD, which they already knew, and evil, which they didn’t know. Knowing evil is never enlightening, quite the contrary.
I appreciate your feedback. Here is my counter thought: How do you know what light is without darkness? To know good, you must know evil also. Their innocence kept them from SEEING the difference. That does not mean they were actually blind, but they did not have an understanding of evil or good. Genesis 3:7 speaks of their innocence which says: "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." This shows that before they ate the fruit they did not understand. Genesis 3:10 further supports this by saying, "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." Everything was GOOD as God saw it, not as they did.
It is said that when you dream of a snake biting you, it's transferring a.k.a giving you wisdom. Also, it's said that it was an apple that Adam and Eve ate. It might have been a pomegranate or something else.

The wisdom of man is foolishness to God.

Amen thank you God Almighty and Jesus Christ names
