Hey Guys....Lily here!
Important new findings just released today:
New study confirms ancient origin for Shroud of Turin
>
> Jan. 19 (CWNews.com) - New scientific tests on the Shroud of Turin have
> confirmed that the cloth dates back to around the time of Christ. The
> results dismiss a 1988 study that claimed the cloth was manufactured in
> the
> 13th or 14th century.
>
> The American Shroud of Turin Association for Research (AMSTAR) found
> that
> the tests done in 1988,using carbon-14 dating techniques, were actually
> performed on a patch that had been skillfully woven onto the original
> cloth
> of the Shroud.
>
> Tom D'Muhala, the president of AMSTAR, says that new chemical tests have
> shown that the main cloth of the Shroud is "actually very old--- much
> older
> than the published 1988 radiocarbon date." [Some time ago, I came across
> an article in which it was stated this evidence was planted by masons.
> The
> two who planted this false evidence were each awarded one million
> dollars
> for "proving" the Shroud did not date to the time of Christ.]
>
> Chemist Raymond Rogers, a fellow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory
> in
> New Mexico, dismisses the results of the 1988 test in a study published
> in
> Thermochemica Acta , a peer-reviewed scientific journal. He reports
> finding
> that the cloth used for those tests "was not part of the original cloth
> of
> the Shroud of Turin." Rogers added: "The radiocarbon sample has
> completely
> different chemical properties than the main part of the Shroud relic."
