She sounds like someone who has never seen a monkey.
But more seriously, given that she’s never met a creationist, it’s unlikely that she’s ever actually read anything at all about it, or heard a cogent argument. On the contrary, you (and probably a lot of other atheists in the world) are comparatively very knowledgeable about religions, have probably read about as much of the Bible/Koran/Torah/etc. as most believers, and likely even have parents who believe in a god. Being an atheist in many societies requires a sort of active choice – one that most children of believers don’t take.
If there were books on the science (or even theology) of talking snakes, I’d be glad to read them.
