An Italian scientist says he has reproduced the Shroud of Turin, a feat that he says proves definitively that the linen some Christians revere as Jesus Christ's burial cloth is a medieval fake.ntist Reproduces the Shroud

“I wonder if Opus Dei would answer some questions, hmmmmm?”
To be fair he is up against much more powerful competition...
I guess Leonardo was quite a dabbler. lol Optics is one thing, negative imaging is something else. Optics don’t create negative images. Don’t you agree?
A rumor which was debunked long ago.
“fake but accurate”?
While it is possible to produce a similar image with materials available in the Medieval period, forgers at that time had no reason to make such an elaborate fake. In those times even a simple painted image would have sufficed, so why go to the time and trouble to produce an image that defied explanation even with 20th century techniques? Working backward to produce an image from an existing artifact would be quite different than a Medieval forger developing a technique from scratch to make such an image.
Can you imagine those medieval folks (who have nothing else to do) sitting around coming up with this one?
These guys are so enraged by any thought of God, that they will go to any length (or ignore any data they don’t like) to discredit this. But it doesn’t explain the plant evidence (which I heard from one team completely fits the plants that would have existed in that area during the spring season) and the shadows under the feet which one scientist found could only be reproduced photographically by suspending the subject off the floor.
Did he reproduce coins like the ones on the eyes of the figure on The Shroud, which ARE NOT visible to the naked eye? If he did this process he doped out is pretty damn sharp.
Sounds like another one of those dopes that say they created “life” in a test tube.
Not so quick... what if one of them had a prophetic vision of the big bucks you could get on eBay for the item?
You're correct.
Another one for 15 minutes of fame.
With Respect, that is like ACORN vetting elections for fraud.
If the C-14 dating is correct (HA!) then it could have been created by 14th Century methods for some unknown reason.
The sponsor of this is a group of atheists and agnostics, so they have no axes to grind. /sarc>

Thanks ApplegateRanch. Pinged that other one, so I'm adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. |

That’s it. Christiantiy is finished .... /sarc
Well you see we bolted an X-ray machine to a Lexmark printer and let it run for a few hours. Oddly enough, we ran out of X-rays half way through the project.

Do you even know anything about the STURP team and who they were composed of?
A real ACORN Group for sure.
I hope you forgot to add your /s designation!
