Second, who was this monk that conducted this mass when this alleged miracle happened? Yes, this is an important question. Next since then it was the Church that was investigating the case (self promotion, it's like the vacuum cleaner salesman telling you that he is selling you the best vacuum on the planet all in order to get you to buy it. Finally, this mysterious "eminent scientist" Odoardo Linoli and his assistant Ruggero Berteli are ghosts. There is not much information about either of them that is not tied to the case. Look up the chain of custody in google referring to how dna evidence is handled in any criminal case. There is no real chain of custody relevant to your case and so forgery is high in this case. Lastly that fact that the blood was tied into the Shroud of Turin makes it highly suspect. The Shroud is most obviously a fake. Also, let's not forget that the church in general especially the Catholic church is know for forging documents and all sorts of things that they use to so called verify the faith.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-46666564756195071322012-04-25T13:32:35.923-04:002012-04-25T13:32:35.923-04:00No answer, that's what I thought, to hard to a...No answer, that's what I thought, to hard to accept is it.

Remember that evolution teaches that life evolved from the simplest forms to more complex forms and species. Humans according to evolutionary theory are believed to be approximately 100,000 years old. You must also take into account a number of factors such as morality rates and the propensity for disease and famine in a prescientific age.

With all sincerity, if one accepts 4.5 billion as a workable estimate of the age of the earth, and one understands the basic concept associated with evolutionary timeframes, then why would one think that our species ought to have a larger population? Should butterflies, horses, tuna, kangaroos, worms, triceratops, and crinoids all have larger populations than exist? Would you offer a hypothesis, or a model, that could estimate what numbers we ought to be seeing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-72217817825440024242012-04-06T21:56:28.243-04:002012-04-06T21:56:28.243-04:00You stated in your article that the world is at le...You stated in your article that the world is at least 4.5 billion years old...one thing that puzzles me, if the earth is that old where are all the people? If the earth was only 6 or 7000 years old the current population seems more in line with the young earth theory. That is one of the arguments christians give and I tend to agree that there should be more people than currently inhabit planet earth.cici459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-30551361955224723812012-04-06T19:03:45.078-04:002012-04-06T19:03:45.078-04:00Thank you Anon for understanding my goals and supp...Thank you Anon for understanding my goals and supporting my efforts.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-40347307539913156452012-04-06T17:42:55.359-04:002012-04-06T17:42:55.359-04:00Thank you, Chatpilot for all your work keeping thi...Thank you, Chatpilot for all your work keeping this site alive.
