So my take on it, in which I would place in a reasonable context, only focuses on an entity that is a light bearer, or, bringer; is, or is in control of light energy.
The serpentine association fits well since its' mode of transport is analogous to that of energy in the form of a 'sine' wave, noting that 'sine' and 'serpentine' are quite similar. Similar transport, different mediums, or, elements.
So there really isn't much trouble in making a significant and reasonable(scientific) connection between Lucifer, Satan, serpents, and light bringers, to energy and propagating(or slithering) serpentine energetic or materialistic waveforms.
