Oneness Man, you're probably a decent fellow and all that, but...
I use Strongs often, but I do not rely solely on his concordance. I use others (i.e. Vine's Dictionary) and look for agreement among the resources. Why? Because Strong's isn't 100% correct 100% of the time.
Please know why this is important. Strongs is not scripture. Being the decent fellow that you probably are, you're probably not in the habit of intentionally offending people and maybe you would have presented your 'discovery' in a way that would not have offended me and the tens of thousands of people who make their career in the field of pharmacy.
If your understanding of pharmacology was as good as it could be, you would have never made the inference that a connection exists between 1st century medicine men and today's apothecary. Quantitative calculations for formulations and knowledge of empirical formulas were not used 21 centuries ago, but it is used today in the development of medications, including all the stuff you have in your medicine cabinet and some of the stuff in your first aid kit.
I strive for peace, and the subject of your thread was provocative. I'll accept a cyber-handshake from you, as dial-up permits.
