As you've likely heard before, "proof" of God defeats the purpose of faith, which is central to the belief system.

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

But, same link from hijacked thread about abortion:

In response to guy who highlights 1988 carbon dating to 13th/14th century, read the whole article and don't just look at the parts that question the shroud's authenticity.

Where does it state that faith must be blind? A faith that is tested surely is stronger?

I still don't see how the shroud is proof of anything except they still don't know. Could it have been done with a camera obscura, by the master da Vinci? Probably.

 Quoting: Serendipity 24942595


A faith that is "tested" is indeed stronger. A faith that is scientifically proven is not faith at all.

And I agree that the shroud is not direct proof of anything but it is certainly a remarkable artifact. Some of the key points that make me think it is authentic:

"The details of the image on the shroud are not easily distinguishable by the naked eye, and were first observed after the advent of photography."
This I think is one of the strongest arguments. You're telling me a medieval artist somehow encoded, via a method not understood by modern society, intricate, hidden details into a picture that no technology would be able to reveal for 500 years?

According to textile expert Mechthild Flury-Lemberg of Hamburg, a seam in the cloth corresponds to a fabric found at the fortress of Masada near the Dead Sea, which dated to the 1st century. The weaving pattern, 3:1 twill, is consistent with first-century Syrian design, according to the appraisal of Gilbert Raes of the Ghent Institute of Textile Technology in Belgium. Flury-Lemberg stated, "The linen cloth of the Shroud of Turin does not display any weaving or sewing techniques which would speak against its origin as a high-quality product of the textile workers of the first century."[77]
Joseph Kohlbeck from the Hercules Aerospace Company in Utah and Richard Levi-Setti of the Enrico Fermi Institute examined some dirt particles from the Shroud surface. The dirt was found to be travertine aragonite limestone.[81] Using a high-resolution microprobe, Levi-Setti and Kolbeck compared the spectra of samples taken from the Shroud with samples of limestone from ancient Jerusalem tombs. The chemical signatures of the Shroud samples and the tomb limestone were found identical except for minute fragments of cellulose linen fiber that could not be separated from the Shroud samples.[82]


In 1997 Avinoam Danin, a botanist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, reported that he had identified the type of Chrysanthemum coronarium, Cistus creticus and Zygophyllum whose pressed image on the shroud was first noticed by Alan Whanger in 1985 on the photographs of the shroud taken in 1931. He reported that the outlines of the flowering plants would point to March or April and the environs of Jerusalem.[90][91] In a separate report in 1978 Danin and Uri Baruch reported on the pollen grains on the cloth samples, stating that they were appropriate to the spring in Israel.[92] Max Frei, a Swiss police criminologist who initially obtained pollen from the shroud during the STURP investigation stated that of the 58 different types of pollens found, 45 were from the Jerusalem area, while 6 were from the eastern Middle East, with one pollen species growing exclusively in Constantinople, and two found in Edessa, Turkey.[93] Mark Antonacci argues that the pollen evidence and flower images are inherently interwoven and strengthen each other.[94]

In 1976 Pete Schumacher, John Jackson and Eric Jumper analysed a photograph of the shroud image using a VP8 Image Analyzer, which was developed for NASA to create 3D images of the moon.[109][110][111] They found that, unlike any photograph they had analyzed, the shroud image has the property of decoding into a 3-dimensional image, when the darker parts of the image are interpreted to be those features of the man that were closest to the shroud and the lighter areas of the image those features that were farthest. The researchers could not replicate the effect when they attempted to transfer similar images using techniques of block print, engravings, a hot statue, and bas-relief.[112]

NASA researchers Jackson, Jumper, and Stephenson report detecting the impressions of coins placed on both eyes after a digital study in 1978.[113] The two-lepton coin on the right eyelid was presumably coined under Pilate in 29-30,[114] while the one-lepton coin on the left eyebrow was minted in 29.[115] The authenticity of the alleged coins has come under dispute.[116]


If indeed a hoax, the attention to detail is astounding. Bringing in the correct dirt and pollen contamination? The impression of period-accurate coins on the eyelids, again invisible until the advancement of digital imaging 600+ years later?
