[__ Science __ ] Do Snakes Really Eat Dust like Genesis Says?

It's just a figure of speech. Snakes don't eat dust, although they breath it in the way we do. When someone says a person "bit the dust", he's not talking about a meal.

Take if for what it is, instead of making up stories to bend such things into literal interpretations:

"Once the snake pulls in its tongue, it inserts the tips of its forked tongue into the two openings of the Jacobson’s organ, where the particles are identified and analyzed. The snake’s brain can “read” the smells and tastes from its tongue. So, in a way, snakes really do eat dust."

Pretty much the way humans ingest molecules in the air. Why not just accept it God's way?
