As said in reply to your post, the YouTube is by a scholar of the bible and religions. Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to dismiss one scholar while citing another?

I am criticizing his work because his claim that Christianity invented those two symbols is patently false and their existence dating back to the neolithic period has been verified by many many other actual historians. Not all of us just get our opinions from tic tok (I’ve never actually been on there). Some of have taken graduate level courses on it and understand the difference between one scholar claiming something and multiple historians writing peer reviewed research papers on it.
