The snake is not really flying because It doesn't have wings to give it lift. Instead, it glides through the air.

It climbs up to a high elevation on a tree, springs itself, and jumps.
While in the air, it flattens the sides of its body to reduce drag and create lift which helps it cover a long distance as it falls.

The flying squirrel is the master of this concept.
The flying lizard does it too.

It's not a form of flying. Gliding is just that- gliding. If not there wouldnt have been a term for it.�
Gliding is a form, or type, of flying . Gliding is an un-
powered form of flying which requires a high degree of skill
because to stay up an incisive knowledge of air current
must be used. A skilled glider pilot can, however, stay up
many hours, travel hundreds of miles, and climb high
enough to need oxygen.

Those who penned down that story in the Bible couldn't use a befitting animal than the snake! What with its wisdom, sensitivity, intelligence and craftiness.

See for yourself the Fallen Church 

Google Images of 100s of pastors worldwide arrested for child defilement of 100, 000s of babies and children. Think how many pedophile pastors never get caught because they are too powerful to bring to justice. They are of all races and nationalities because the demons of pedophilia don't discriminate. The Coronavirus is pedophilia Baal worship a detractor public scare scripted by the Simpson cartoon as well as other forms of medium.

Hypocrit:
I don't think flying necessarily have to be whether up or downward, flying is just a movemet through the air whether short, long, ascending or descending i think. A jump is a short movement through the air. Flying is a general term.

Gliding is about maintaining a balance while you descend. You remain aloft by looking for thermals and other rising air to slow down gravity. And when there is no air to assist - you can't ascend but descend.

Powered flight (flying) uses the engine or wings to provide the thrust to keep you in level flight. When you want to descend, you need to reduce power to avoid speeding up too much as gravity will help pull you downwards. And when you want to ascend you increase power to overcome the force of gravity.

I do accept that gliding is a form of flying
