As I posted once before. Which is the greater miracle? That an completely unknown 14th Century polymath should create a work of art that stumps the all scientist and scholars of the 20th and 21st Centuries using techniques they cannot derive from the work or duplicate using the technologies available to them 700 years later, and knew to include things on the Shroud such as dust in the area of the feet and backside of the Shroud where it would have been spread on rock from a form of Travertine Aragonite that only exists out side the eastern gate of Ancient Jerusalem, gathered pollen from the Israel area to dust over the cloth he was using, including pollen for a plant that was indigenous only to an area of about 500 miles around Israel and went extinct circa 800AD, and then this Genius artist disappeared, leaving not trace of himself or any other similar art work or the techniques he used; or that a miraculous cloth was left behind by a person who was reputed by history and his followers to DO miraculous things? The doubters prefer to believe the former against all logic and evidence.
