Given the datings, this all occurred very much pre-Garden of Eden.

So, do we think Eve was misled because the Serpent had evolved from this particular specimen, and therefore could have been standing upright when he beguiled her ( height adding credibility, as we all know)

And, as we all know, an army marches on its stomach.

The frogs and the serpents each had a football team,
And I heard their cheerleaders in my dream:

“Bilgewater, bilgewater,” called the frog,
“Bilgewater, bilgewater,
Sis, boom, bog!
Roll ‘em off the log,
Slog ‘em in the sog,
Swamp ‘em, swamp’em,
Muck mire quash!”

“Sisyphus, Sisyphus,” hissed the snake,
“Sibilant, syllabub,
Syllable-loo-ba-lay,
Scylla and Charybdis,
Sumac, asphodel,
How do you spell Success?
With an S-S-S!”

The article makes it plain that this snake ancestor did not use its legs for walking or even for standing. The specimen mentioned in the article was only 20 cm long. That's only about 8 inches, and the legs were just a few millimetres long. That's not long enough to even stand.

Lastly, Eve and the Garden of Eden are myths. There has never been any proof of any kind that either existed.

You're failing to allow for the influences that the competition between Cretaceous Zumba and Insanity would have had on limb development.

The article you linked doesn't mention either of those - whatever they are.

You're failing to take into account that carbon dating is either hopelessly flawed or directly calling God and the Bible a liar.

If that date was from carbon dating then they are lying, since it is impossible to get a date that old via that method. The best they could do would be close to 50,000 years before the amount would be too small to be outside the detection limit.

But we do know that the date was recorded on the fossil and was observed.

Well, you too can read the article and realise that they don't mention C-14 dating at all, but then given that all fossils were laid down by the Great Flood and thus all dendrochronology, ice-core dating and every other possible large-scale dating systems are also rendered invalid by the Bible, because God said so, it doesn't really matter, does it?

It's probably dated via the Uranium-Lead method (the U 235 method, not the U 238 method), and even more likely it isn't dated direcly, rather the rocks it are in are dated.
