I said what I said.
Just because what I have found disagrees with what you believe does not mean it is wrong.
10 years ago I started from scratch and have been studying things ever since. At this point, I'm not at scratch and have a hierarchy of information that I hold to, with various forms of evidence along the way that verifies what I believe.
If you can see a pattern the Bible puts forth that is mirrored in the world, that would be a potential way to prove an idea in scripture is true, and it happens that way time and time again, for believers. It's the worldly folk who struggle with that. The Bible tells us so many one liners that hold to be true, such as "there is nothing new under the sun".

Let me correct this for you. The fact that we believe different things does not mean that you are wrong. The evidence tells us that you are wrong. The evidence does not care either way which one of us is wrong, it simply is.
And no, as to "proving scripture is true" you are only talking about confirmation bias with your test. That does not prove anything. A better way is to develop a test that can refute one's idea. In fact to have reliable evidence that is the sort of test that one needs. What reasonable test could show your beliefs to be wrong based upon the merits of your idea? Trying to prove yourself wrong is usually the best way to find out if one is right.

Let me correct this for you. You won’t look at evidence. I’ve invited you to do so, and you won’t look at it before give an opinion, your opinion is nothing to do with evidence or science. Your position is faith based.
Atheism “ there is no God” is indeed a faith, and atheist refusal to look at evidence is “ anti-intellectual”
I ask again: Why are there white cells in vitro, evidence of life from other than evolution, when ( credible forensics labs ) state That heart myocardium ( identified by a heart specialist) appeared so intimately infused to bread it can’t be faked? I like evidence. I’m happy for you to produce counter arguments , or even disprove it but solely based on forensic evidence not your atheist faith.

Godless and without morals
There is no such thing as "atheism"
"Atheist" is merely a label that can be ascribed to individuals that lack a belief in any of the god(s) that humans have dreamed up. Other than not having a belief in god(s), atheists have very little in common. They have no atheist scriptures or teachings, they have no required sacraments, no organisation or religious leader to tell them how to behave or what to think.

NO, you really have no clue. You used bad evidence for your beliefs. What else did you expect?
Try agin.

LOL! Instant fail. You do not even know what atheism is.
Sorry, but you are wrong. Atheism is not a faith.
You can do better than this. I am sure that you have been corrected in the past.
As to your question about cells being evidence for something other than evolution you need to learn what evidence is. You need a testable hypothesis to even begin to have evidence. No testable hypothesis means no evidence.

I looked at what I could find re your Eucharistic Miracles. The two pieces of cloth that were RC dated were not even close in date their claimed date and arguing vagaries in dating does nothing to make better evidence out it.
As for the host found in a candle stick being heart muscle or whatever version you are claiming, besides this being an extraordinary which would require a lot more reinforcement than just a simple claim. I can find nothing from anyone who actually analyzed it and only references to others. I there really is evidence, I have done due diligence, the next step is up to you and don't go telling me there are lots of books, yes my library is full of them, that doesn't prove much.

The "scientific" opposition to the Shroud of Turin originally began with a dishonest member of the team that analyzed it. I don't feel like digging up all of the information right now, but since they were allowed to sample only a few small areas of the shroud they had agreed to do all of their work as a team. No private sampling, no private analysis. They knew that this was a bit of a hot subject for some. A few years after the work was done and agreed to one of the members announced that he had tested his own samples afterwards and found flaws in the study. That brings up the question, was he lying when he was a member of the team and promised not to take samples for himself, or was he lying when he claimed to have samples that he date? Either way he demonstrated that his work could not be trusted by going back on the agreement.

You asked me a question and then answered it yourself. Psychologists have been studying anti-intellectualism for decades and understand it a lot better than you think they do.

When you accept cloth date is unreliable you can no longer accept cloth dates doh! Provenance of the sudarium is what proves the shroud date iswrong. The provenance is a “no later than” date.
The shroud date is Exactly what the only archaeologist dater involved with the shroud said it would be WRONG unless precautions were taken, daters didn’t take.
Why not look at the THOUSANDS of pages describing forensics and pathology of the cloths that not only show pre and post mortem pathology entirely consistent with the documented torture but also to each other. Dating is an outlier. Since 99 pieces of evidence point one way, one date points another. Guess which is wrong. Do you even know what the sudarium is? I urge you again to look at the actual forensic reports of the so called EM. The tissue sections and tests are conclusive.
BUT
This thread isn’t about the evidence per se, it’s the anti intellectual views atheists take of it. There is no shred of doubt that atheists refuse to look at evidence that might contradict their world view. They lose objectivity around anything with thesistic overtones Why? It beats me. Enquiring minds should love to find the flaw that defeats it, you can only do that by looking at evidence. Since it is forensic reports you have to get into the detail.
Have you got castarnons book yet? I suggested it because half of it is copies of forensic reports on letterhead so you know who you are trusting.
The shroud doesn’t even threaten your world view necessarily. Roman and Egyptian emperors claimed to be Gods. It didn’t stop you looking at evidence of their lives, or immediately declaring it flawed. Or considering a sarcophagus real!
Why won’t you look at shroud forensics?
You are on trial here, not the evidence!
You clearly want to condemn the shroud without looking - why? You are being psycho analysed!
One of the worlds leading investigative journalists mike Willesee debunked hundreds of frauds including religious . He made a career of it.. Even He was convinced of the reality of some of these including ( so called) Eucharistic miracles, a prophesied stigmata , Cochabamba and others.. He was there, you were not.
So let’s ignore the evidence itself. Atheists are on trial here. Why do they refuse to look at it? They give conclusions on it before look, which is clearly anti intellectual.
iIt annoys me, because I WANT to hear the negative arguments , to see if they stack up. I’ve yet to see a credible argument that any EM is fraud.
I would happily accept proof that EM were faked, or proof of an intermediate cell before the minimum cell known. I go where the evidence leads. It says it all that atheists accept the speculation that life was a progression from chemicals, yet there is no evidence before the minimum cell we know. Yet they condemn out of hand EM for which there are tissue sections!
So Why don’t you?

Subduction is an interesting anti- intellectual.
There are hundreds of man years of thorough scientific research that concludes real forensic pathology of the same victim of the much older provenance sudarium of Oviedo. Research that puts it in the right part of Israel. The mark is certainly not an artwork. Other date methods suggest first century. The unique torture is enough.
He refuses to look at it, preferring his “ dishonest” conspiracy why?
There have been hundreds of independent researchers.
it doesn’t even threaten his worldview. Roman and Egyptian emperors claimed to be a Gods. Subduction doesn’t refuse to look at their archeology or forensics. Mind you the non contact radiation makes it hard to explain.
So why? If it’s that easy to prove a fake, why doesn’t he dare look at the real evidence?
There are too many atheists that go anti intellectual when they sense their world view is threatened.
Ive no doubt if I pointed at evidence of space time warp by magnetism allowing translocation, not propulsion, he’d accept the possibility. Why? Because it doesn’t threaten his worldview. On the other hand evidence of consciousness outside the brain. Ie that life is more than chemical No doubt is a worrying no no. Atheists are so selective.

Using Wikipedia as an authority source, as edited By skeptics. I thought you were better than that. Sceptic world turned on him the day he found something he couldn’t debunk.
don’t believe willesee, believe the camera footage he took, the tests they did.
A camera doesn’t get drunk, nor does a CT scanner. Have you looked up the evidence?
