I think you and your science are invoking the wrong kind of processes. Computers apparently will get you nowhere. According to the below passage from the Bible, it seems like the ancient world was way ahead of you guys. Why not take a cue from the ancient Egyptians and try and dig up the exact incantations and spells their magicians used to get their rods to turn into snakes.
Exodus 7
10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. 11 Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: 12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.
