That link was just one of many and was posted as a starting point as to the claim.

You doth protest too much.

I've read them all, Oatka, and a lot more. Most of them are hilariously wrong. . . or they are making claims that are impossible based on the physical and chemical evidence that has already been long known about the Shroud from studying in detail down to the Electron Microscopic level, which I assure you these skeptics ignore completely

I will still trump every one of your amateurs making claims published in their skeptical magazines with my world class scientists working in their fields of expertise, publishing their work in peer-reviewed scientific journals, where their work is critiqued by other scientists, who know what they've done, how it was done, and can properly evaluate the conclusions of their work.

We are not just talking a few articles, but literally hundreds, compared to a few from a handful of non-scientists with no experience or hands-on testing, making claims that were easily shot down with science that had already been done by far more qualified scientists and falsified years before, but they being ignorant, like you, of the science and scholarship, did sloppy work, and, in their arrogance and sure they had proved the Shroud a FRAUD, made an announcement to the news media without concern for checking their work against the published and already known record.

As I said, their so-called "proofs" were absurdly easy to shoot down. Joe Nickell, with his daubing technique, was among the easiest to debunk. Your link about body length is literally laughable and shows the amateur thought that is at the heart of many of the skeptics' theories.

My protests are just the tip of the scientific and scholarly iceberg that sink the skeptical twaddle your link exposed. Frankly, there is nothing of value there. One finds amateurs throwing theory after desperate theory at the wall, hoping one will stick, only to see each one slide down leaving a slimy trail of bovine excremental waste in its wake, until it festers on the floor in a reeking puddle until another ignorant amateur, certain of his intellectual superiority over those Shroud yokels, picks it up, polishes it, and tosses it at the wall, all over again!

I've been studying the Shroud scholarship and the science attached to it for 44 years. I know one heck of a lot more about it on FreeRepublic than any other Freeper except for Shroudie, who maintains several websites on the subject and writes extensively, as I do, on the subject. I defer to his expertise, though.
