Another "astonishing" discovery?

It USED to start with "British science" has made an astonishing discovery...

The more science tries to prove there is no God, the more they prove there is.

Faith is the evidence of things unseen.

Faithless folk need “proof” and signs and miracles.

We are surrounded by the creative works of God every day. And yet we want a sign.

Romans 1:20

The ENEA study of the Holy Shroud of Turin concluded that it would take 34 Thousand Billion Watts of VUV radiations to make the image on the shroud. (the most powerful available (VUV light source) on the market come to several billion watts )”.

Interesting.

Anyone with an ounce of sense KNOWS the Shroud is REAL!

[alexander_busek]

The observation of unusual electromagnetic disturbances at the tomb of Our Lord may support a scientific hypothesis proposed to explain the creation of the mysterious image on the Holy Shroud of Turin.

That is a laughable conclusion, akin to "My magnetic compass once twitched a little near the pyramids. Astronauts observed magnetic phenomenon on the surface of the Moon. Hence: 'Moon-Men' built the pyramids."

Scripture clearly says that Jesus face was wrapped with a separate napkin which Peter saw deliberately folded beside where the Lord lay.

Wasn’t The Shroud of Turin carbon-dated to post-date the death of Christ by many hundreds of years?

More miracle mongering. Gibbon reports enough pieces of the “true Cross’ were sold so that they would float a fleet of wooden ships.

Wonderful news.

The argument from miracles. David Hume points out that many different religions have their own miracle stories.
Given that there is no reason to accept some of them but not others (aside from a prejudice in favor of one religion), then we must hold all religions to have been proved true — but given the fact that religions contradict each other, this cannot be the case.
But it’s a kind of a circular argument, isn’t it?

His stronger argument is, if there is a natural explanation for something, over a supernatural explanation, go with Ockham’s razor and accept the explanation that is within our experience. Of course either believers or disbelievers in the shroud as authentic could say this supports their position:
“I believe in holy relics/I disbelieve in holy relics.”

They found out who made the shroud.....

Electro-Magnetic phenomena during the opening of the Purported Tomb of Christ may give authenticity to the Shroud of Turin — Shroud of Turin PING

I remember reading something long ago, can’t remember where, or when (or the source), about some scientists/students building an exact replica of the Ark of the Covenant, to the original biblical specifications.

They said they had to dismantle it because it started to build up a dangerous charge.

Don’t know if it was BS, Then or now. But I do remember eating it.
