Shroud of Turin proven genuine by REAL science

To Bear:

Well, the C-14 dating of the Shroud has been questioned by Harry E. Gove, PhD, co-inventor of the use of accelerator mass spectrometry for carbon dating. Dr. Gove is professor emeritus of physics at the University of Rochester in New York.

"A swing of 1,000 years would be a big change, but it's not wildly out of the question, and the issue needs to be resolved," he said.

Here's a link:

I'd say Dr Gove may be an authority on this.



Peace,

I doubt it. Maybe Joe G. Meert can tell us if Dr. Gove has done any work with C-14 dating.

Edit to add:

I looked around and it looks like Gove does have experience with radiometric dating. It's mentioned on his bio page at Rochester.

Thanks for the link, VOW.

But that article is addressing possible dating results flaws, based on contaminants.

I am asking you to back up your claim that fire or high temperatures affect C-14 dating results.

Thanks,
John

More on Gove:

In his book he apparently advocates a 14th century origin.

I too would like to know how fire affects C-14 dating.

I have to go to work now. On my way home, I'll pick up a good pair of dancing shoes.

"You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen."

Of course not, but I imagine you think they cant happen either.

Why do you care about fire and C14 Rufus and Bear? The C14 has already been shown to be flawed from the microorganisms on the linen.

<SUP>Amazing how these people can dismiss facts concerning anything that most likely was supernatural even when confronted by undisputable proven facts. Yet when&nbsp;a creationist disputes a fact conerning evolution everyone jumps&nbsp;on him/her and attempts to make them look silly.</SUP>

<SUP></SUP>
<SUP>Looks like one would do an in&nbsp;depth study into this subject&nbsp;before debating it. I see people jumping in debating&nbsp;a "flat face" when anyone can&nbsp;see&nbsp;that isn't the case. But they&nbsp;try to stick with it dispite what the human eye can see. Exactly what they say creationist do. Samo samo right?&nbsp;&nbsp;</SUP>

<SUP> How true.&nbsp;
