Hey guys sorry I haven’t been on in a long time . Just got done last week burying my mom, it’s been a very stressful 3 years for me .
I just finished prepping my car for driving cause me and a friend were going to pass out food to the homeless but she got delayed so we are going to do it on Monday .
Ok I checked that article and while I don’t have the time to do my usual research I went to the blog I trust most my buddy Stephen jones whose a much better expert on the shroud then me .
And I searched through the front page of his blog and it looks like he will be responding to this research article in the very near future . Stephen is
A very cool dude . He’s a Calvinist who believes in the authenticity of the shroud which is rare since john Calvin himself didn’t believe in it .
Here is the part of his blog where he talks about this .

I will respond to the article, "The Bloodstains on the Shroud of Turin Are Probably Fake, Say Forensic Experts," BuzzFeed, July 14, 2018, Dan Vergano, and other similar articles, in the near future (after my Date Index 2010, Shroud of Turin News July 2018, and my next "On this day 30 years ago in the radiocarbon dating of the Turin Shroud". In the meantime, read "Shroud of Turin expert criticises new study casting doubt on authenticity," Catholic Herald, 19 Jul 2018, Junno Arocho Esteves:
"`Does it seem like a scientific criterion to take a mannequin — like the ones used to display clothes in a store window — and a sponge soaked in fake blood attached to a piece wood that is pressed on the right side of a dummy to see where the streams of blood fall?' Marinelli asked. `If this is considered science, I guess I'll just have to take my degree in natural sciences and throw it away,' she said."
Also read, "`Not scientific!' Catholic Church HITS BACK after Turin Shroud `fake' claims," Daily Express, July 19, 2018, Ciaran McGrath:
"Pierluigi Baima Bollone, honorary president of the International Centre of Sindonology of Turin ... said: `I have read that the work that has been presented is based on a system called BPA [Bloodstain Pattern Analysis], very criticised on a scientific level. This method – in many court cases in which it was used – has created many problems and has been disavowed.'"
Now also read, "An Unrealistic Approach and Analysis of the Blood Flows on the Shroud of Turin," July 27, 2018, Mark Antonacci:
"From these experimental results [by Borrini and Garlaschelli], which differ from comparable blood flows on the Shroud of Turin, the authors conclude the blood flow patterns on the Shroud are unrealistic and indicate they were the result of artistry or were faked. In this article I will briefly explain how both sets of experiments are flawed in several respects, how the blood flows on the Shroud are quite realistic, and how the authors' conclusions are necessarily flawed. All of the comments that I will make about the blood marks on the multiply-wounded crucifixion victim wrapped in the Shroud are supported by decades of research by numerous pathologists, physicians, anatomists, battlefield surgeons, scientists and forensic experts ..."
I will remove the above "The Bloodstains ..." items in the final installment of this media release, but I will add it to my Shroud of Turin News of July 2018.
