![]() ![]() Must contend with radiocarbon evidence, which dates the shroud to approximately the 13th or 14th Centuries. There were and are leading pro-authenticists who maintain that the image formation process was not supernatural, including Yves Delage, BSTS Chairman Rodney Hoare (1927-1997), STURP chemist Ray Rogers (1927–2005), STURP photographer and owner of, Barrie Schwortz, and agnostic art historian Thomas de Wesselow. the body becomes indelibly fused onto the cloth, preserving for posterity a literal `snapshot' of the Resurrection." Suddenly, there is a burst of mysterious power from it. In the darkness of the Jerusalem tomb the dead body of Jesus lay, unwashed, covered in blood, on a stone slab. While no doubt the majority of pro-authenticists, with Ian Wilson, assume that the image on the Shroud is a "`snapshot' of the Resurrection": "Even from the limited available information, a hypothetical glimpse of the power operating at the moment of creation of the Shroud's image may be ventured. Those who would suggest a supernatural origin nearly 2,000 years ago This is another naturalistic false dichotomy. Delage estimated the probability that the image on the shroud was not caused by the body of Jesus Christ as 1 in 10 billion." ![]() He is also famous for noting and preparing a speech on the Turin Shroud, arguing in favour of its authenticity. He also discovered the function of the semicircular canals in the inner ear. In fact the Shroud has been especially given for persons with the hope that many others, pushed by the scientific interest aroused by this `impossible image,' come closer to Him and love Him better." And there have been pro-authenticist scientists who remained agnostics, like Yves Delage (1854-1920), an eminent French zoologist, who "estimated the probability that the image on the shroud was not caused by the body of Jesus Christ as 1 in 10 billion": "Yves Delage (–7 October 1920) was a French zoologist known for his work into invertebrate physiology and anatomy. It is addressed to the many doubtful persons and to those whose Christian faith is weak, reminding them that Jesus Christ has lived, and is living now, among us, and will be waiting for us at the end of our earthly life. It is the only `photograph' of Himself He allowed us to admire. The Shroud is a particular `photograph' of Jesus Christ in His Resurrection, displaying the signs of the tortures He freely suffered for us all to be redeemed. ![]() For example, Professor Giulio Fanti, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Padua University, Italy: "The first author, having a scientific perspective and after long years dedicated to studying the Shroud, reaches the following conclusions on the subject. But there are many scientist who are also Christians, and who are persuaded by the evidence that the Shroud is authentic. It is the "Christian faithful" versus " scientists". Note the Naturalistic ("nature is all there is - there is no supernatural") false dichotomy. The Shroud of Turin, the supposed, It is not "supposed." The evidence is overwhelming that the Shroud of Turin is authentic, the very burial sheet of Jesus, bearing the imprint of His crucified and resurrected body!īurial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth, has remained an object of fascination for the Christian faithful and scientists alike. " Shroud of Turin DNA Comes from All over World," RealClearScience October 12, 2015, Alex B. These will be in date order, with the articles' words in bold. As promised in my October Shroud of Turin News, where I commented on the news article " Shroud of Turin Offers Some DNA," GenomeWeb, October 06, 2015, which was a continuation of my comments on the paper, Barcaccia, G., et al., 2015, " Uncovering the sources of DNA found on the Turin Shroud," Nature, Scientific Reports 5, 5 October, in my " `Uncovering the sources of DNA found on the Turin Shroud' #1" and #2, this is part #1 of my comments on further news articles about the study. ![]()
