Wpin from #240: "Again, I ask you...what genetic traits does God have? God is the father of Jesus Christ after all...or are you saying that you have proof that God is not the father of Jesus? If so, let’s hear it..."

I thought I answered this question the last time you asked it, in post #222:

BroJoeK from #224: "To my knowledge, no DNA analysis has been attempted or is even possible on the Shroud image.

"If it were, we would expect ordinary human DNA, since both the Bible and Christian theology insist that Jesus was fully human."

I'm sure you know that from the beginning, orthodox Christian theology (as contrasted to, say, Arianism or Gnosticism) has always insisted that Jesus was not only fully divine, but also fully human. Therefore, if it were even possible to extract original DNA from the Shroud (which it most surely is NOT), then we would fully expect to find there fully human DNA.

Do you disagree?

Your knowledge is limited, then.

On the shroud image no it has not been because the image is not made of human residue, but on the blood stains it absolutely has been attempted.

DNA analysis has been attempted but the strands are so contaminated and broken that it has been unsuccessful to date. A lot of work on the blood was accomplished in the 1990s by some of the world's top experts on blood and its derivatives. Anyone who claims there is no blood on the shroud is ignoring the peer reviewed science and going with outdated, non-peer reviewed work that was done using techniques that just didn't work with blood that was so old. Over three dozen tests for blood, hemoglobin, Human antibodies, and primate antibodies have proved that the blood is blood and further more that it is human blood.

It is amusing to see Joe Nickell, a noted "scientist" with a degree in English Literature, and a failed stage magician, claim that world class experts in human blood and blood derivatives, including Dr. Bruce Cameron, whose double doctorate is specialized in Hemoglobins and its derivative, don't know what they are talking about when they say it's blood and try to tell them they are really looking at Red Ochre paint. Absurd.
