Quote
A female boa constrictor snake has given birth to two litters of extraordinary offspring.
Evidence suggests the mother snake has had multiple virgin births, producing 22 baby snakes that have no father.
More than that, the genetic make-up of the baby snakes is unlike any previously recorded among vertebrates, the group which includes almost all animals with a backbone.

DNA fingerprinting revealed that the offspring had a number of genetic differences from any of their potential fathers, which ruled out all the males as sires of the litter.
That confirmed the first instance of a known virgin birth among boa snakes.


And you must worship them all as the second coming of your messiah.

Sounds like Satan is trying to horn in on Jesus' gig.
