It's also been hypothesised that the patch we tested was a modern repair, but most of us agree that's implausible, because the weave is very unusual and matches the rest of the shroud perfectly.
Then you agree based on ignorance and denial of the chemical analysis done by a chemical expert who had his results submitted for peer review, which leads me to believe that your most likely a dogmatic atheists.
true research of the shroud will cause the atheist to deny reason, logic and history in order to hold onto his silly world view that has no ultimate hope, no ultimate love and no ultimate reason. In other words to exposes them for the very hypocrites that they claim fundamentalists have. I'm a catholic and I believe that faith and reason go hand in hand.
The shroud exposes atheism as an emotional, non rational and anti science world view. Isn't it beautiful
it brings the intellectually arrogant to their knees.
the peer reviewed chemical analysis clearly shows the rest of the shroud is much older than the c14 test corner. The c14 tests isn't at fault, they tested what was given to them, but if they had followed STURPS protocol this problem would have been solved.
the seculars who muscled the STURP team out of the c14 testing violated many protocols.
the head of the C14 testing was also caught in a lie. He had sent a letter to a museum asking for a cloth that looked similar to the shroud but dated from the 16th century, he at fits denied this but when the letter was produced he finally admitted to it.
and you are 100% incorrect on the corner weave looking like the rest. It was dyed to look like the rest, but even the weave was different, the chemical analysis and the madder dye Rogers found sealed the deal.
you my friend are speaking from a position of ignorance while I am speaking from a position of facts and 4 years of studying the shroud myself, but if you hate the truth so much you can cling to your lie.
there is no image like this on earth. If the shroud was wrapped around Jesus the image would have come out cylindrical instead of how it came out on the shroud . All of the evidence points to this image not being the product of cloth to body contact.
the image shows no dorsal body compression so he couldn't have been laying down with his dorsal parts laying on the stone.
the hair doesn't flow as if he was laying down in a horizontal position.
How many people who buried in a burial cloth throughout history, yet this is the only burial shroud with any image at all.
many were buried with burial oils, but oils don't produce images with 3d spatial encoded information, X-ray information and an image produced by a some kind of columnated process that produces no side images at all.
even the most advanced technology available to science today can't replicate this image.
plus it fits the gospel account of Christs torture,crucifixion and burial to the letter.
no middle age forger could have had access to this information.
all middle age paintings of Christs crucifixion depict the nails going through the palm of the hand, and the shroud clearly violates all middle age knowledge of Christs crucifixion by showing the nail going through the wrist in the space of destot .
Try to find the thumbs on the shroud image. You won't because it doesn't show them . Forensic experts know that placing a nail through the space of destot would cause in inward flexon of the thumb. The thumbs can't be seen on the shroud image because then thumbs are flexing inward exactly how they would be if a nail is placed through the space of destot .
the markings on the images body fit perfectly with the roman whip the flagrum. The flagrum is designed to tear into the skin and stick to it when it is pulled back to the person doing the torturing it takes a piece of skin with it.The image shows a man in rigor mortis which means he is clearly dead but only on that shroud for at most 40 hours. Sound familiar????????
p
the more you dig into the shroud the more you will be addicted to it. No person in recorded history was crucified like Christ and the man on the shroud was. The evidence for the shroud image being Jesus is overwhelming, but like I said, the shroud isn't for anti logic and anti science atheists. It's for honest seekers of truth.
mark antonacci is one such man. He was a happy go lucky agnostic lawyer with a Christian girlfriend, but he got so sick and tired of her and her preaching that he set out to prove to her that Christianity was a fairy tale in order to get her to stop believing.
he was waiting in line in lunch and he saw a magazine with the picture of the shroud on the front cover. He tried to ignore it but he could take his eyes off of it. He then said ok ill look at the f'ing thing.
he decided his first target would be debunking the shroud.
20 years later he not only failed in his mission to prove his girlfriend wrong, but the evidence of the shroud was so ooverwhelming that he himself converted to Christianity and wrote a book called the resurrection of the shroud, and actually just recently got his first peer reviewed paper passed on the shroud. Some feat for a former agnostic lawyer isn't it?
there is a video on YouTube from many years back done by Kenneth Stevenson the head spokesperson of the STURP science team explaining in detail sone of the forensic evidence found on the image. Ill try to find it again.
