Sounds reasonable to me, if a talking snake tried to give me dietary advise I definitely look into its claims. Unfortunately theist wouldn't and instead they would take as a sign from God that God wanted them to ignore all the gift they were given like teh ability to question things and use our minds to come to our own conclusions and instead they just have faith and to believe the snake, after all why would God create a talking snake in the first place unless he wanted us to eat the damned apple. Next thing we would know we would all be kicked out of paradise and forced to put up with people who have been falling victims to the words of talking snakes for thousands of years.
