Now, I didn't wholeheartedly believe this scientific explanation (nor do I now, as it is just a theory) but it hit me so hard that I had to learn more about the historical evidence for Christ. This search led me to a variety of wonderful resources, and a long story short, I have reverted to the Church.

If you read my previous post about the VP-8 Image Analyzer, you will see that the analysis done of very old photograph (one made in the 1920's I think) was used by some folks at Los Alamos Labs. They did not understand how the Shroud acted like images they had labored to create of the landscape of the moon to get 3-D images. The Shroud itself did not act like a photograph or a painting -- but something that was meant to be analyzed by the VP-8 Image Analzyer -- a high tech device used for the "race to the moon".

This resulted in such interest that the original scientific team was formed. One of them, a Jewish fellow, was converted because of the Scientific study. In fact, quite a few of the scientific team was converted by working on the "scientific research of the Shroud"(found under www.shroud.com).

What may be interesting are the pollens from plants that only existed in Israel up to 2000 years ago.

Along with the fact that it was some sort of "energy" that created the Shroud makes this whole thing rather interesting.

It is interesting how the Media only played up the C-14 stuff, when in fact that type of testing was the most "error prone of all the testing".

Why? For centuries people used candles to "venerate the shroud" -- giving off carbon into the fibers.

Also the Shroud was burned in a fire -- also another time when the Shroud was contaminated by even more carbon.

It proves how really stupid the media really is.
