Connection: Those that believe in the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin refer to carbon dating to support their belief, but those scientists who specialize in carbon dating state how being in a fire in the early 1500s would not explain why carbon dating would put the shroud at 650 years old. For the believers, carbon dating is a verified means of proving the truth so long as it confirms their truth.]]> 2018-03-05 18:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238262872 nicholasacre https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238275383 Definition: The argument that information and truth pertaining to the belief exists, but is only inaccessible because those in power has an interest in suppressing it.
Connection: The Shroud of Turin was supposedly recovered by crusaders during one of their forays into the east, specifically the sack of Constantinople in 1204. Why wasn't there more mention of Jesus Christ's burial shroud in the Christian Byzantine sources? Why did the crusaders (by definition, warriors with a vested interest in religion) let such a sacred relic spend two to three hundred years in obscurity before letting it reappear in the public eye in Italy?]]> 2018-03-05 18:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238275383 nicholasacre https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238299558 Definition: Causes that use courts, marches, campaigns, and so on to push a belief may be fueled more by ideology than by science.
Connection: The authenticity of the Shroud of Turin is argued most tenaciously by Christians, especially Catholics - their faith describes Jesus as a creator of miracles, and therefore all science surrounding the shroud's authenticity is either buttressing or overshadowed by Christ's divine power.]]> 2018-03-05 19:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238299558 nicholasacre https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238408201 Definition: Irrelevant information to distract from actual facts.
Connection: A great deal of scholarly debate and scientific inquiry has surrounded the material and geographic origin of the shroud, but this is ultimately irrelevant to the central question of the Shroud of Turin: Is that actually a silhouette of Jesus Christ in it?]]> 2018-03-06 00:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238408201 nicholasacre https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238430115 The Shroud of Turin has had a number of blood spatters discovered on it, with chemical composition consistent with one enduring torture - an alarmingly painful length to go to for manufacturing a fraud.]]> 2018-03-06 02:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238430115 nicholasacre https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238434357 Modern technology has consistently failed to make a perfect replica of the Shroud of Turin, although impressive imitations have been made. ]]> 2018-03-06 02:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238434357 nicholasacre https://padlet.com/nicholasacre/f3oisd36o0df/wish/238438072 Pollen grains have been found on the Shroud of Turin that Avinoam Danin, a botanist from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem claims can only correspond to plants from the Dead Sea area.
