New scientific tests on the Shroud of Turin date the cloth to ancient times, challenging earlier experiments that dated it only to the Middle Ages. The very liberal Huffington Post reported the news and the combox erupted. Here’s a sample of the high-minded debate from the side of those who are…uhm…unconvinced.
It’s really disappointing to see the Huffington Post giving credence to such absolute rubbish — at the very least, could you please consult someone who is a specialist in early Christianity before publishing such nonsense. Even among the laity, who believes that this cloth from the middle ages has anything to do with the historical Jesus?…
It is a complete fake and no matter how much the Vatican pays corrupted creationist scientist to come up with full blown nonsensical study results – it is still a fake…
i found money under my pillow!!! what more proff is necessary of the existance of the tooth fairy?
who in their right mind thinks of this as anything other than the creationists response to scientific dating…who believes this silly mumbo jumbo?…
When the question involves a god or messiah, do people just forget everything they know about physics or chemistry? Do they automatically accept that gravity doesn’t exist or that there is no evidence actually supporting their ideas and call that god? Did your god give you a brain that lets you learn all kinds of wonderful things about your environment until you butt up against a matter of faith? Does s/he just pick & choose what humans can or cannot learn? If god can trump all of science, why rely on it for medical, scientific, environmental, or otherwise answers? If science is not true in one instance, we must call into question *all* of our knowledge gained through science…
i’ll wipe my butt with that rag…
The shroud of turin is a fraud. Nothing more. Nothing less. Amazing how this cloth happened to capture “his” likeness – the hair, the beard, even the face – so well that it looks like the SAME image of christ you see in almost every single, worthless, religious painting depicting this so-called “son of god.” Pathetic…
It is interesting that the book was released just before April Fools Day…
It’s already been scientifically proven that the shroud is a fraud. No amount of research can something magical to be real…
Easter the first April Fools Day. Jesus did that extreme fake being nailed to a cross and being dead…
