Science has proven no such thing.

I guess the Mormons and Japanese did see him...

Errrr....didn’t it go ‘on tour’ for a while?

There is no mystery that the shroud is contaminated. Early artists used to lay their cloths directly on the shroud in order to copy it. What is a mystery is that the image on the shroud is not the result of any process known to mankind. It is a negative image with 3-D information produced via a Dot-Matrix pattern of a resolution higher than most modern printers. In fact, the image is not in the cloth fibers themselves, rather on a micro-thin layer of soapwort which dries on the outside of the fibers in the manufacturing of the cloth. Absolutely facinating.

After sequencing the DNA of pollen and dust found on the Shroud of Turin, the researchers discovered several plant groups native to the Mediterranean, RealClearScience.com reported. Other groups were linked to Asia, the Middle East, or the Americas, but must have been introduced at a time later than the Medieval period, according to the researchers. . .

The claim in the second paragraph of the article that Science has proved the Shroud cannot be the burial cloth of Jesus due to the 1988 Carbon 14 tests is false, because those tests have been falsified by three different peer-reviewed studies showing that although the tests were accurate on what was tested, the sample itself was flawed from the start, being taken from an area on the Shroud that was apparently patched in the 17th Century and was now contaminated with 40%-60% more modern Cotton threads interwoven with the original Linen Shroud material of indeterminate age. . . which could be as old as 1st Century.

The idea of a negative image in that century was non-existent. Secondly there is no paint or oil or whatever used to produce that image. And what of that blood serum on it? There are no brush strokes on the pigment or whatever it is that produced the image. No matter how careful you are you still would see strokes either up or across.

Secondly, the image is on top of the fabric, not into the fabric.

The thing has been all around the world. Duh.

And finally...

What “science” is it that studies whether things have something to do with Jesus or not? “Something-to-do-with-Jesus-ology”?

That bogus 1988 carbon-dating has been declared, at least 10,000 times, to “prove” that the Shroud is a “painting,” a “Medieval forgery,” and other things that have been shown fifty different ways the Shroud cannot possibly be.

It’s called “intellectual dishonesty.” It’s a common trait among people who are shacked-up, committing sodomy, etc., and don’t want to think about Jesus.

Hufpo lies!

“even though science has proven that’s not the case”

uh...no they haven’t, they sampled a once repaired cornered and some pretend that’s conclusive.

[Moonman62]

I wonder how many more articles there are about the Shroud than there are articles about the teachings of Jesus?

Because of weather you can probably find dust from the 7 continents on a street in a small town in Kansas.

Lee Spiegel is apparently unaware of the definition of the word “science.” And likely the word “proof.”

And the Virgin Mary's face appeared on a piece of salami.......

So many put so much energy into these artifacts and 'special signs" that they lose sight of the real topic - Christ died for our sins and it is by faith alone that we are saved......

believed by some to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, even though science has proven that's not the case

Aww, those Huffington Post dears. /s
