Sample of one. Therefore all must be like that one. I’m sorry, I must have slept through the part of logic class where they did “unus est ergo totus est”.

I’m agnostic on the Shroud of Turin, but the sloppy conjectures of this article demonstrate that at least the author has a bias against the authenticity of the shroud.

I must have missed where National Geographic bothered to discuss the controversy about the Climategate emails...

The Planet Is Heating Up—and Fast
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It’s becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century’s warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years.

Is Global Warming Real?

The warming of Earth’s surface and oceans over the past century is very well documented, and climate research shows that most of the warming in the past half century results from manmade greenhouse gases.


Their own religion has myth making

I'm with you on the Shroud of Turin. As for the new one, it is obviously NOT Jewish - and most of us know that once we think. "The newfound shroud was something of a patchwork of simply woven linen and wool textiles". As I recall from Leviticus 19:19 in Hebrew/Aramaic, mixing linen and wool was specifically forbidden for clothing, and the observant Jews of that period would not have considered its use on a dead body as an allowable loophole. Turin? I'd like information that is probably never going to be available. The new shroud? Not relevant to Turin.

Right on the nose.. this is a lame assertion that is not at all logical.

The better use would be to compare the carbon dating of both shrouds which would have some scientific meaning. That is assuming that Carbon dating hadn't been used to establish that this new shroud came from the 0CE era.
