Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
"French reweaving is one form of invisible reweaving. Unlike other forms of invisible reweaving such as inweaving, it is nearly invisible, without magnification, from both sides of the cloth. Michael Ehrlich, the owner of a company called Without A Trace offers invisible mending services for e...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Been there... done that... that's how I confirmed that the unique feature of French reweaving vs other reweaving techniques is that it is 'invisible' from both front and back. No. That's absurd. There is no suggestion, on any website referring to French Reweaving, that it is invisible on both sides...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Hugh, perhaps you've covered this, in the other thread. And I'm sure you'll get to it. Probably! You make some interesting points, as usual. One of the big questions about the Shroud is whether it is evidence of a miracle, in the sense of something quite outside the laws of physics as we understand...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Nonsense. No I have never read the pamphlet you refer to, and I have never tried French reweaving myself. Then can you possibly think you know anything about it? However, the unique feature of French reweaving (in contrast to other reweaving techniques) is specifically that it is 'invisible' from b...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
And you should also expect push back when you make fallacious statements like It does nothing of the sort. It is a triumph of wishful thinking over evidence. It is based on the idea that some 16th Century threads are intermingled with some 1st Century threads in such a way as to distort all the 12 ...

Re: RTB: Serious Problems with Evolution
It would have been fantastic if God left irrefutable evidence for one of the creation scenarios or one of the evolutionary scenarios. Perhaps biologists will one day learn how the living cell came into being and reproduce it in a lab. Yes, I think that's possible. We'll have to wait and see! The se...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Questions for Hugh: Hugh, you DO believe that A) Christ was resurrected and B) that such a burial shroud of his once did exist, per Scripture - correct? And if you believe this - and let's forget about this particular Shroud artifact for a moment - do you have any reasons that it is impossible for ...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
The French reweaving technique is 'invisible' from both front and back. Nonsense. Have you ever seen any? Or studied the pamphlet "The Frenway System of French Reweaving" which illustrates it in detail. I have actually had some done, on a hole I cut out of a handkerchief, and as I say, th...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
What is wholly unsupported by the evidence are your assertions. Really? Which ones? You need to be a little more specific. I thought it was obvious by the portion of your post that I responded to... The specific unsupported assertion I was referring to was the following It does nothing of the sort....

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Even though the Shroud doesn't play a significant role in my personal faith, I have become convinced over the years that based on what I've seen I think it is likely that the Shroud is in fact the burial cloth of Christ. If that is the case, then how do we get the burial cloth of Christ from Jerusa...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
What is wholly unsupported by the evidence are your assertions. Really? Which ones? You need to be a little more specific. I am very aware that denying the authenticity of the Shroud can raise strong feelings, so try never to say anything unsupported by evidence. If you think anything I have said i...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Here is an interesting video I saw a few years ago. It demonstrates how the radiocarbon date results for the Shroud are the result of French reweaving of 16th century cloth into the Shroud at the location where the single radiocarbon sample was taken. It does nothing of the sort. It is a triumph of...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
Here we go then. I have looked at each Video, and compiled a commentary on each one. They are not entirely comprehensive and leave lots of room for counter-dispute, but together they amount to such a long post that it might be more than the site will accept, so I'll post them in installments. Here i...

Re: Shroud of Turin - Summary of Evidence for its Authenticity
It's a common challenge, but fairly facile. You don't need to make an exact replica of something to show how it was done. However you are correct that if the Shroud is not supernatural, then it should be possible to determine its mode of manufacture. There have been many such attempts, both from a 1...

Re: RTB: Serious Problems with Evolution
I've now read it and find it very interesting. It reflects my own way of thinking very well, and calls for a deeper understanding of a definition of intelligence, such that the universe and its progress can be seen as an expression of an intelligence. Perhaps rationality and intelligence are so clos...
