I think the part that is being missed is that what the Bible referred to as pharmaceuticals (witchcraft) is not the equivalent of today's medicine, even though the same name is used. Therefore today's medicine resource is a pharmacy, but is not a source of medicine, not spells, incantations and concoctions. Ergo, today's pharmacy did not evolve from medicine men and witches, it came from legitimate medicine and doctors such as Luke, and possibly from the Word of God itself, as illustrated in Ezekiel.
The use of the word "pharmacy" is a misnomer, and cannot be applied in the same way.

You can not, however, discount the connection between the two, even though we have long since ceased from the incantations and spells. We are still brewing up concoctions, but we do it in a laboratory using chemicals, instead of plants. In other words, we've kept the mean and chucked out the fat and the bones.
