If it gives you satisfaction to believe that the Shroud represents an anonymous 14th century dead man, by all means think so, but mainstream science recognizes no body tissues on the shroud, only pigments of red ochre and vermilion. If you feel peeved at me arguing from competent and well-esteemed authority, well, I’m happy to be in their company. Not so thrilled though to have you imagining me masturbating. I’ll do without the back-story on that one.
You have not yet shown a single controlled scientific test, submitted for peer review, which falsifies blood proteins.
I have already shown you links which describe the peer-review studies, using generally accepted forensic tests, which DO test positive for tissue samples.
Strike one.
only pigments of red ochre and vermilion.
You quoted a skeptical site (the one with the reporter from Toronoto quoting the guy from Purdue) which attacks the claims of age based on vanillin -- Rogers should have tested for vanillin using this, the source claims.
In your haste to quote this, you failed to notice - or deliberately omitted -- that this test was explicitly looking for PAINT, described in detail the paints it was looking for, the chemical kinetics of their decomposition, expected species, etc. It didn't find any, thus demolishing the claim that the image was paint.

Argument from authority is invalid in science. Don't you know that?

Well, I know where *your* stains came from, anyway.
Cheers! Whoops.
