I think there is a humble way to accept Shroud evidence. It never was intended to have an utterly scientific explanation. Work that shows it stumps science is propitious.

Now we should ask what it tells us about Jesus. Most obviously He died and was resurrected in a strangely radiant manner. The Shroud, to a humble heart, testifies that our sins are gone and that we have new life of an unusual kind.

And so does the bible, of course. But perhaps bible concentration has gone so snobbish that we won’t even look at what the bible tells us about and then let God speak through that, too.

I guess some live by signs and others by faith and some in between the two.

Evidence ‘points’ to a truth whereas facts prove such. I prefer facts I suppose, and these can in some instances come about once the evidence has reached a certain plateau....who determines where that is is another story.

I also think ones years and degree of practicing faith makes a difference...where what God says is sufficient and any evidence or proof only confirms what is already accepted as truth.
