Excellent rebuttal argument

Agreed! Shroud Story is the most comprehensive resource on the Shroud of Turin.

There have always been skeptics. St. Thomas refused to believe until he actually touched the wounds of Christ. Times change ... people don't.

Agreed! Shroud Story is the most comprehensive resource on the Shroud of Turin.

I already complimented Shroudie on his website as the most "more accessible . . . easier to navigate," and that it contains ". . . more succinct descriptions and explanations" than any other site... including Barrie Schworz's Shroud.com website, but I give the nod on most comprehensive to Barrie. I am pretty sure that Shroudie would agree. Barrie maintains his site not only as a repository of the photographic record of the 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project photographs, but also as a sort of clearing house for scientific and scholarly articles that makes it the premier Shroud source on the web. Barrie provides us the opportunity to read the primary sources for ourselves.

I think that Shroudie's website's organization, it's consistent design, and his well written, popular style articles make it the most accessible for laymen to understand the sometimes turgid prose found in the scientific articles republished and archived on Barrie's site. Shroudie has a great talent for cutting through the mind numbing blur that tables, formulae, statistical analysis, and dry prose tend to induce in most readers of scientific papers and slice out the meat to tell us the most important conclusions and how those conclusions fit with the other research results reported.

Both are the best of the web based Shroud resources available and complement each other.

Thanks to both Barrie and Shroudie for taking on this task.
