The snake symbol for medical came before the Bible.

FREN, with all due respect I need to point out a few things. Comparing Greek mythology to the BIBLE is like comparing a beyond meat whopper to a steak dinner. ONE is fake and one is REAL. For EVERY good thing that God has created there is a counterfeit. My suggestion - spend a little more time in the BIBLE and lot less time on WIKIPEDIA.
I don't think you should call the Bible fake. Admittedly it was cobbled together from many separate reports, then edited, translated, redacted and edited some more. But some of the text probably retains the original meaning.
I called greek mythology "fake" NOT the Bible.
Or spend more time with history while still maintaining your faith. The two are not mutually exclusive.
People are rewriting history from 5 minutes ago to twist it to fit their narrative. I listen and learn but take everything scientist and historians say with a grain of salt, especially if it I read it on wikipedia. People have tried to discredit the Bible since the very beginning. People can have faith in anything - and say they have faith. But my faith is in the God of the Bible and in his Son, Jesus Christ. Period.
The Wikipedia reference was so you know what I am talking about. For actual jnfo, pick up a history book or Greek mythology. That said the Wikipedia entry I linked is accurate as far as I can tell.
I am not attacking your faith. I am simply pointing out that the caduceus, the staff and serpent have existed, since before Christ.
I don't much care if you believe it or not. I am not trying to discredit the Bible.
I would say however, those who do not learn from the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat them.
Thank you.
