again if you can provide an alternate origin of the shroud I would love to debate plausibility, unfortunately burning a shroud 500 years ago with a magnifying glass is not really cutting it.Why? Because you can't think of anything else?
sir again how would someone forge light? I already said the cloth has 3 dimensionality into it.1. Cloth draped over a 3-d object, will not show a photo realistic image when laid flat.
2. Adam was the most intelligent human ever and his offspring less so, for every generation after.
We are so dim now that we can't figure out techniques used even 2000 years ago.
yes again I didn't believe in it at first, I just thought it was a forgery myself. But after my first documentary and listening to the scientists study it, I was changed. It is the most studied cloth in historyWhat each individual person sees as good evidence varies. For a very long time I have been a big fan of historical Jesus reasoning. The Shroud has never entered into my thoughts on the matter at all, maybe because my confidence in the resurrection didn’t need anything. I’ve always just thought of the Shroud as some documentary that I see pop up from time to time.
They wouldn't have used the same technique as I did in boy scouts. But they could have.again if you can provide an alternate origin of the shroud I would love to debate plausibility, unfortunately burning a shroud 500 years ago with a magnifying glass is not really cutting it.

3 am is my normal brain-on-fire time.It is interesting. And the way things just hit you out of nowhere when you’re not even in a debate or anything, you’re just walking in the park one random afternoon or something.

I thought most scholars agree that there are portions of scripture that was original?On his own terms of "evidence" his argument fails. The only evidence for the resurection is the content of scripture and Matt claims that the original writings were altered, when all the solid evidence says they were not.
So based on the evidence, the scriptures are accurate. It's an obvious point Matt must avoid to succeed. Plus he has to discredit his mom to retaliate for being named Matt. So that's sad.
Ok so on this masterpiece he invented two art forms hundreds of years before their first use. Negatives first came on the scene in (1826), sunlight art is even newer (1909). So the forger of the parchment invented two art forms 3-400 years before their first use. Wow, that's impressive. Or we can go with the more logical alternative, that the shroud is genuine.They wouldn't have used the same technique as I did in boy scouts. But they could have.
So how do we get down to help people who are wanting know if they are 100% accurate. Wether it was translated accurately or not is irrelevant if there were things that wasn’t supposed to be in there from the start... is there anyway to ever figure this out for sure do you think?I agree fully. I'm just saying that there are "Facts" that people are mistakenly declared dead.
Another "Fact" is that the scriptures have been copied accurately. This does not prove that the original writings were accurate. But you can't attribute the content to inaccurate transmission, which Matt does.
The fact that Matt avoids these only two facts, shows his bias against facts.
If you have that then there is no need for faith.So how do we get down to help people who are wanting know if they are 100% accurate. Wether it was translated accurately or not is irrelevant if there were things that wasn’t supposed to be in there from the start... is there anyway to ever figure this out for sure do you think?
It seems likely. I've not tabulated any scholars though.I thought most scholars agree that there are portions of scripture that was original?
I think I sufficiently refuted the forgery allegations but if I didn't...
did you read that article? It literally poured blood on someone and because of how the blood dripped they determined it was a hoax. So they must of had prophetic insight into what type of beating Jesus had. Some suggest he had over 500 wounds. Secondly they are using the carbon dating as valid and using that as evidence it was a late fraud. So again as I have said before, the patchwork was dated late, as people who took care of the cloth did patch it up occasionally, but that does not mean the original fabric is that late. Secondly carbon dating itself even if it was on a good piece, is not always valid. Carbon dating suggests the carbon decay as uniform and as a constant, and that is impossible to prove.You obviously didn’t...
And not that this will change your belief in any way, but here’s something for people without confirmation bias:

Researcher Joe Nickell has written extensively on the Shroud, detailing how it has been proven to be a forgery. Also, a few years back it was shown how it could have been created back in the day.

New Shroud of Turin Evidence: A Closer Look | Live Science
I decided to read each piece of refutation, the third one was a duplicate. The other two, one says that they had evidence the shroud Crucifixion feet were side by side, and they could not possibly have known that. I mean whether they used one nail or two is not known by the fact each foot had one hole, so they could not have known either way. The last refutation says blood was not dis-solvable in a blood dissolving agent. Well my question to them is how often have they dissolved 2000 year old blood, that was on a cloth that has been preserved? Most types of blood we know has been in the ground for two thousand years, and your luck to get any blood at all. So the number of artifacts themselves that have old blood would have been rare, and I doubt they ever had the opportunity to try to dissolve it. So there is no comparison. So anyway, for a refutation to be valid, they need a new carbon date, from at least three laboratories. Lastly they need to explain how sunlight art came up on the scene and how negative paintings did as well three to four hundred years before their first usage. And they have done none of that. In conclusion it is hard to do sunlight art on a piece of fabric without burning it, most art I have seen is smoking when they are doing it, they are literally burning the material, however this piece the image is uniform on all the top layers but not on the bottom layers. Furthermore even if God himself appeared to us today to say that this was His shroud people would just believe that He was an alien. Someone would find a reason not to believe. My suggestion is that while there is one christian that does not believe in the shroud here, the majority of attempted refutations are from skeptics of the Bible and God as well. So they hold to the view that the universe itself spontaneously com-busted from nothing. But then refuse solid evidence such as this. So it is clear to see this is not an intellectual issue for them, but this is a moral issue. They love their pornography, they love their sex with their girlfriends, they love their sin. It's pleasurable to them, and they don't desire to believe in a deity that would tell them how to live their life. I get it. It makes sense but don't come here and say that there are logical alternatives to the validity of this piece of evidence, when there is none.Crucifixion Evidence Debunks Turin “Shroud” | Center for Inquiry
yes if one were to fabricate a shroud you would expect this to be the case, right? I mean the only way this could be a fraud is for someone to use sunlight art four hundred years before it was invented and while that is possible, it's not probable.See for yourself. A face image burned into this cloth will be three times wider than a normal face would look. It would include the full side, full front, and full far side impression.
ok so their findings are that the blood stains were T versus a Y pattern? Were they there to see the crucifixion? Did they take a photograph to know not only what type of crucifixion was used, but what wood was available in Jerusalem indicating what style of bolting pattern they would use? I don't think so. All this is speculative. We have to look at facts. You yourself see that an image of a face would have sides and rear, yes ordinarily if someone was to explode into light, they would do that. Unless one were God and wanted only his frontal face image to appear later as evidence. That one situation makes it probable that this is genuine. The more I talk to you guys about this the more convincing the shroud becomes to be honest. I can see the shallow arguments against it, and they all rely on stuff that is not proven. We can only look at facts. We know the image was not typical. It was created by light. The only way for this to happen would be a sunlight type of art which would not come on the scene for 400 years, and in a fashion that was a negative. Negative photography would not appear for 700 years. again they date this around 1200. So your looking at even further, you are approaching a thousandyears at this point. So say someone had invented sun art and negative photography a thousand years ahead of time, in 900 a.d. Then perhaps this would be the case, that a forger could use known existing tactics. So even if every piece of historical information was true presented that refutes the shroud, the blood was fake, the patterns were fake, the pollen was fake, there still is not technology to create the image 1000 years ago in 1200 A.D. There is just isn't. So I hope you can see this with an open mind in your future talks. I hope that you see this debate every easter, and ponder the logical aspect of your views. To take the whole picture into account and to see all the evidence.Scientists have only had access to it about three times. So I don't know how you got that idea.
