There's so much wrong with this, but I'm just too tired to go through the effort to have you either ignore my answer or look for some other tactic of attack.

In modern days, serpents don't talk to people so how big of a deal would it had been for serpents not to talk to people then?   

God didn't interfere with their free will. He just changed the language that they spoke.

As to the serpent in the garden of Eden, assuming the story to be literally true, it was a test to see if Adam and Eve would follow the 1 rule that God gave them to follow. As we all know, they failed that test.
