628-year-old fake news: Scientists prove Turin Shroud not genuine (again)



BBC - History - Ancient History in depth: The Story of Carbon Dating
We know that carbon 14 dating is totally irrelevant to the theory of evolution. Ignorant evolutionists, however, think carbon 14 dating proves evolution, and continue to make that claim. Comedian Lewis Black, who by no stretch of the imagination is a knowledgeable evolutionist, argues,. We have the facts in carbon dating and fossils. Perhaps we should not even dignify this with a response, but we do get emails from evolutionists asserting that carbon dating proves evolution.


The Carbon 14 Myth
The Turin Shroud is a fake. In the latest, but almost certainly not final instalment, they have used modern forensic techniques to show that apparent blood spatters on the shroud could only have been produced by someone moving to adopt different poses — rather than lying still, in the manner of a dead and yet to be resurrected Messiah. Forensic scientist Dr Matteo Borrini of Liverpool John Moores University and Luigi Garlaschelli of the University of Pavia used a living volunteer and real and synthetic blood to try to simulate possible ways that the apparent bloodstains could have got onto the shroud. This could be consistent with someone who had been crucified with their arms held in a Y shape. Unfortunately for shroud believers, however, the forearm blood stains would require the dead body to have been wrapped in the shroud with their arms in a different position — held almost vertically above their head, rather than at an angle of 45 degrees.




When news is announced on the discovery of an archaeological find, we often hear about how the age of the sample was determined using radiocarbon dating, otherwise simply known as carbon dating. Deemed the gold standard of archaeology, the method was developed in the late s and is based on the idea that radiocarbon carbon 14 is being constantly created in the atmosphere by cosmic rays which then combine with atmospheric oxygen to form CO2, which is then incorporated into plants during photosynthesis. When the plant or animal that consumed the foliage dies, it stops exchanging carbon with the environment and from there on in it is simply a case of measuring how much carbon 14 has been emitted, giving its age.
