For my position, I do not discount McCrone finding iron oxide and vermilion particles on the shroud. The question is – is it sufficient to account for all of the body image and the blood stains? Again, even McCrone admits he cannot demonstrate this scientifically: I am not saying the Shroud is not authentic. I …
McCrone’s theory of how the TS was created: These results suggest that a talented artist carefully studied the New Testament, sources of information on the crucifixion, and other artists’ paintings of Christ. He then thought about a shroud image in terms of a dark tomb. Instead of the usual portrait with normal light and shadow, …
Let me summarize what I’ve posted so far on bas-relief imaging… otseng wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 7:59 amI don’t see any attempt in Costanzo’s experiment to replicate the blood stains. Also doubt the experiment accounts for all the image features found on the TS. In other words, yes, he attempted to make a replica …
Critique by Alfonso Sánchez Hermosilla: The article presents numerous formal and conceptual errors that deprive it of scientific credibility. First of all, neither author is a forensic physician, so they lack the experience and knowledge necessary to successfully deal with any kind of investigation with human blood stains. The “experiments ” have been conducted on …

After McCrone did his research on the sticky tapes, he attempted to publish his findings in peer-reviewed journals and to have STURP’s seal of approval on his paper. But, when STURP team members reviewed his work, they did not approve it because it was not scientifically rigorous. STURP comments on McCrone’s paper: The letter reads …
Harry Gove testified McCrone had biased motivation: I sometimes think that McCrone dreamed of becoming history’s greatest iconoclast. Having, in his view, demolished the authenticity of the Vinland Map he saw the chance to do the same to the Turin Shroud! http://newvistas.homestead.com/POLITICS … UD_PT1.pdf https://debatingchristianity.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1117741#p1117741
In 1980, after McCrone had given his presentation on his findings from the sticky tapes, the press asked: Dr McCrone, are you saying that the Turin Shroud, from your scientific analysis is a fake or a forgery. Are you really sticking to the fact that it is a fourteenth century image put on by an …

Christopher Ramsey, the director of the Oxford C-14 lab, does not go so far to claim the dating of the TS has been proven. Christopher Ramsey, the director of the Oxford University Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit, took the theory seriously and agreed to collaborate with Jackson in testing a series of linen samples that could determine …

Ray Rogers had loaned the sticky tape samples to McCrone immediately after STURP completed their testing on the shroud. October 13, 1978: (Friday) STURP completes their scientific work during the evening of this day. The Shroud is returned to its casket the following morning. En route back to New Mexico Dr. Ray Rogers stops off …
