My first reaction upon reading this was "amazing". Thanks to all who pointed to this being a false story.

We all know there will never be any conclusive proof the bible is true, or that God exists or that Jesus is Lord, because faith is our salvation, not facts determined by any scientist.

I do feel better now.

The guy I’m talking about (not Wyatt) is on some of the Christian tv channels. The area he discovered wasn’t in the more likely locations we’ve seen before. There were chariot wheels of gold at the bottom of that sea; and no barnicles or other stuff was stuck on those. The shapes of those wheels were the plain crossbars that Pharoahs would have had. The other chariot wheels weren’t gold; and those had the barnicles stuck on them. He said the crossing was on a ridge which made that area more shallow for crossing.

Oh, really? No proof?

1. The Shroud of Turin. Likely, previously known as The Shroud of Odessa!

2. The Shroud of Turin IIRC shows the wounds of a man crucified with nails (a very rare form of crucifixion) through the carpal tunnels in the wrists (proven in 19th century experiments with cadavers to be the only structure in hands or arms capable of supporting a man crucified by nails) and through the ankle bones sideways (the only part of the legs or feet capable of supporting a man crucified by nails).

3. The image on the shroud appears to be in the nature of a photographic negative and photography was obviously unknown in the 14th century when the shroud arrived at Turin.

4. Every 25 years or so the Church allows scientists including some reputed to be atheists to examine the shroud and to perform experiments designed to prove or disprove its authenticity. Never disproved and the proof has sustained the burden of proof at least as well as would be required in a criminal homicide trial today.

5. You may CHOOSE not to believe the evidence of the Shroud of Turin. What you CANNOT say credibly is that there will NEVER be conclusive proof the Bible is true.
