“”We have shown that is possible to reproduce something which has the same characteristics as the Shroud,” Luigi Garlaschelli..”

That’s it? That’s the world shattering announcement? “We discovered that something could be faked, therefore that proves that it was faked?” Ummmm, yeah right. I’ll bet this scientist also believes that of event B happened after event A then event A must have cuased event B.

The carbon date shows this is from late 1200s.

It’s been pretty well debunked as legit.

(And yes, I am a Christian. I just happen to think this artifact is a fake.)

Also note the headline; "Italian scientist reproduces Shroud of Turin."

Then check out the first line of the story; "An Italian scientist says he has reproduced the Shroud of Turin,.....".

The headline is a bald statement of fact. The story reveals that it is actually a claim made by a man funded by an organization which has a vested interest in a certain experimental outcome.

I believe this is called a "conflict of interest".

This is one piece of evidence. Anything can be faked.

I am not a big believer in the shroud, but not that exciting. Other evidence points to ancient origin, so if fake, it’s an old one.

I do admit I find it odd that the Shroud’s Jesus looks like like our Western Last Supper version, and he’s clearly not historically accurate.

We can produce vitamins artificially so therefore there must not be any vitamins that came about without being produced artificially.

Yes, for example: it's obvious that trees cause wind. You never see the wind blowing unless the trees are moving. QED!

Do I really need a little </s>?
