I have a shroud question if anyone knows. Are the wounds in the hand or in the wrist?

[sand88]

In a paper published in 2005, chemist Raymond Rogers, member of the 1978 research team, challenged the claim that the shroud is a fake. He said the sample used in the 1988 carbon testing was a piece used to mend the cloth in the Middle Ages and that the methodology of the testing was erroneous.

Before he died, Raymond Rogers withdrew his belief that the Shroud was from the Middle Ages. As a result of questions raised by research provided by Sue Benford, he went back and did more testing. He confirmed that the carbon dating was performed on a portion of the Shroud that was repaired.

Statement: "Original research team member says science still can't explain Shroud ...."

Response: Ergo it is divine Q.E.D.

I know that Barry believes that the Shroud is authentic, but he has never converted. An unusual case!

[James C. Bennett]

Science still can’t fully explain things like the ancient Wootz steel.

Therefore, Wootz steel must be holy.

“Russian metallurgist Pavel Petrovich Anosov, Dr. Oleg Sherby and Dr. Jeff Wadsworth and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have all done research, attempting to create steels with similar characteristics to Wootz. However none have had any success so far and the original techniques used to produce Wootz steel in India have been lost for centuries.”

Does anyone here have the study explaining why the face looks proportional and non-distorted?

I still think that the explanation involving Leonardo Da Vinci is still the most likely one.

[Kirkwood]

One of the most interesting aspects to me of the Holy Shroud is that the image is a combination of both the surface features of the soft tissue and the underlying skeletal and dental structure. So it has tomographic properties that are not just an approximation, but accurate.

[Viennacon]

The shroud fascinates me. An amazing find for sure.

[WKB]

One of the things I have always wondered about ping.

I have read things that convince me it is real and some that convince me it is not. In the end it really doesn't have much impact on me one way or the other.
I know he was raised from the dead and it doesn't matter if someone found his burial clothes or not.
As the blind man in John chapter 9 said. "One thing I do know I was blind and now I see" Praise the Lord
