    Not so. It is supported in every detail by the Holy Bible.
    That is, the shroud exhibits every detail indicated by the Holy Bible
    plus additional details that the Bible writers forgot to mention
    but are known to scholars to be true.

    Well, it seems to me that Jesus believed it was important to leave physical
    proof of his resurrection and that the empty tomb and the eye witness
    reports from many people would not be enough. He wants as many as
    possible to believe and be saved. Therefore, he left photographic evidence
    and other scientific evidence on His shroud and Sudarium for all to see,
    However, the apostate Roman Catholic Church treats is as a relic today
    and will allow little access to those that can actually prove its authenticity.

    If Jesus had wanted to leave photographic evidence of his existence he would have gone to Jessops.

    Proof? I was given to understand that the concept of faith was central to christianity - is that not how you see it?

    Yes, faith is important, but all the apostles needed proof in varing degrees.
    The same holds for us. Proper Knob and googlefudge will need much more
    proof than perhaps Kelly Jay or my brother in Christ sunnydid.

    No. The only proof that comes in degrees is in a bottle.

    Proof like truth is absolute.

    There are however many degrees of ignorance as you ably demonstrate.

    There are also other definitions of "Proof" -- from dictionary.com

    Proof
    noun
    1.
    evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, or to produce belief in its truth.

    2.
    anything serving as such evidence: What proof do you have?

    proof.

    4.
    the establishment of the truth of anything; demonstration.

    5.
    Law . (in judicial proceedings) evidence having probative weight.

    P.S. Do you see anything here that says proof has to be absolute?

    Biblically, when God has "proven" himself to the world, where did it get him?

    I mean, Adam and Eve knew 100% sure that God existed, then look what happened.

    The children of Israel witnessed plagues, the sea parting before them so they could walk across, and manna falling from heaven. Then they forsake him to build a golden cow in order to worship it.

    I think you will find that faith may have something to do with the facts, but only a small fraction of it. Faith is not only saying I believe you exist, it means I trust you implicitly with my entire being.

    Now try to "prove" that the people you have placed your faith in, whether it be wife, mother, son, friend, etc., is bullet proof.

    Yes, Adam and eve knew God existed, but they did not put their trust in Him.
    They decided to put their trust in someont that told them they can do whatever
    they wished and then they would be like God. Isn't that basically what the
    atheists believe today?

    I think you are saying basically what I have said, but in a different way. All
    the proof in the world will not help someone who refuses to believe or lacks
    the faith to put his trust in his belief. But it is my hope that as the evidence
    increases there will come a point that all will believe in Christ and have the
    faith to trust in whom they believe.

    Although the shroud may not be absolute proof of the resurrection of Christ,
    it is a little more evidence to add to the pile. Maybe it will be enough to tip
    the scale in the right direction for someone. I don't need it to believe, but
    others might.
