The Italian group think that they may have been able to recreate the Shroud of Turin. Maybe they have? But, I’d love for them to try and recreate the coffee stained image of the Virgin Mary I personally have. A few photos of the image can be found here on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7690119@N03/sets/72157617453203072/detail/
How is a modern reproduction of the Shroud of Turin ‘definitive proof’ of anything? I don’t know if the Shroud of Turin is legit or not…I’m inclined to believe it probably is a hoax, but ‘evidence’ such as this isn’t impressive at all. And for the guy to state that his reproduction is ‘definitive proof’ that the Shroud is a medieval forgery leads me to believe he has an ulterior motive in making the reproduction. I don’t think it should come as a surprise to anyone that the Shroud could be faked today.
The ability to reproduce something, whether its an artifact, a fossil, a crop circle, or the Shroud of Turin, is only proof that something can be reproduced a certain way. It’s not necessarily proof that whatever the reproduction is based on is fake.
You’re right; it is not “definitive proof”. But it is evidence that the shroud could be a forgery.
That Virgin Mary image you have is just a coincidence and a result of the human mind to find images in something that actually has none. It’s called matrixing.
I mean, I’ve found a potato chip that looked like Harrison Ford and have seen a shoe and a tiger in the clouds. Doesn’t mean they’re real. It’s just matrixing.
