I’m skeptical. “Reproduced” is a pretty subjective term. To what degree was it reproduced and to wwhat level of foresnic investigation are the original and the reproduction identical?

Logically, all this proves is how it might have been done if it were a medieval artifact. It can't prove that this was exactly the process. This is a demonstration, not proof.

The headline is not supported by the article.

“similar” does not prove anything definitively

Not replicated. The STURP team ruled out pigments on the shroud. This guy’s process used pigments which were left on his fake.

Funded by an atheist organization. Follow the money.

Nice try.

Garlaschelli received funding for his work by an Italian association of atheists and agnostics but said it had no effect on his results.

Hum...

Shocking....

Is his image a true photographic negative?

Your right Joneshie, he needs to bend over and grab a bunch of soil, rub it all together and produce a human being! Hell, then I'll worship him myself.

What a joke!

Reproduced what.... ? ?

They didn't even have a CONCEPT of a NEGATIVE IMAGE in the middle ages. Atheists are funny... I wonder how many are atheists on their death bed.

Actually Leonardo Da Vinci was dabbling in optics and it is rumored that Leonardo, being no friend of the church, created the Shroud as a Practical Joke.

This is a reproduced thread, there is already an ongoing discussion here with 241 replies.

However, just because this thread was reproduced by another source, that doesn't make it a fake ; )

Whew! That was close. I was just about to believe in Jesus. Thank... well, Whatever, for the tireless work of the zealous nonbelievers.

I wonder if the Atheist would fund the attempt...

Thankfully he will fail.

“In Garlaschelli we Trust” would require larger nickles...

Thank... well, Whatever

I think the term is “Mother Earth”...

Or was it the “Great Pumpkin”...

Perhaps it was “Thank dumb luck”...

Luigi Garlaschelli, a medieval fake scientist, funded for his fake work by an Italian association of atheists and agnostics, says in effect, "God is Dead".

Luigi, prepare to meet Nietzsche.

Wait, he's got to first create the soil out of nothing.
