Is Atheism Irrational?

The image:

So here's what we know: The image on this cloth does not have a directional lights source for shading and is created by a selective tone-browning of unknown process of a thin film of starch sustenance 1/100th the thickness of a human hair. Until recently, many believed that the tonal yellowing on the Shroud fibers were produced by a process which resulted in oxidation, dehydration and conjugation of the polysaccharide structure of the fibers of the linen itself. This has been shown to be partially incorrect. The coating, whether yellowed or clear, can be reduced with diimide or removed with adhesive leaving clear cellulose fiber underneath. This removes vapors, liquids, high-energy radiation, heat and pressure from the formation equation as currently understood in physics.

whoa guys, did you consider this?
 
The Shroud has been observed by visible, infrared, x-ray fluorescence and ultraviolet, spectrometry, as well as thermography. Recent observations have been made using pyrolysis mass- spectrometry and laser-microprobe Raman analyses, just to name the main methods. Ultraviolet-fluorescence photography has been one of the key instrumental methods in the discovery process.

The shaky conclusion of researchers is that each visually blended color shade (or the density of pixels) represents the distance between the cloth and the part of the body the cloth is covering at that point. This was also the conclusion of the members witnessing the original VP8 analyses in 1976. The density of pixels literally creates a sort of terrain map of the physical form enshrouded. Yet there is no directionality to the implied light of the highlights and shadows. Meaning: the brightness does not come from any angle or directional source, even several directional sources have been ruled out. This is never the case with any normal image. The angle of the light source(s) is what gives dimensionality to images. The source is not from above or below, nor from the right or the left, nor from the front. This rules out for most the photo ideas. The source of energy was not directional in any sense.
 
The image quenches at about 3 or 4 centimeters. That means that no image is present for parts of the body that are more than about one and a half inches distance from the cloth.
Visible and ultraviolet spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, and direct microscopic viewing did not detect any known Medieval painting materials. Later microscopy, microchemistry, pyrolysis-mass-spectrometry, and laser-microprobe Raman analyses failed to detect foreign materials. Pyrolysis-mass-spectrometry analysis was sufficiently sensitive to detect ppb levels of polyethylene oligomers that came from bags carrying the samples to the lab.
 
The focus and exposure produce a high-resolution image that is packed with informational data. The distance and timing in relationship to the energy requires researchers to conclude intentional design. Why, well because of the extraordinary odds against getting all the parameters perfect. They are astronomical! The odds of producing the right energy, distance and timing to produce such an idealized resolution are simply mind blowing, especially in antiquity.
 
That there is a distance-encoded representation at all is amazing and puzzling. It is important to note that no imagery in the history of art or science; no other works of art, normal photograph, artifacts or relics of any kind will produce a 3D plot like the one produced from the Shroud. NO METHOD LOOKED AT AND OR TRIED, WORKS TO PRODUCE A 3D PLOT.

If he is, we're fucked, because robots are supposed to be rational.
 
Checked in on the thread for the first time in about a week hoping it had moved on from the shroud of Turin. Truly unbelievable.
 
+1 for the civility. Completely disagree with you, but that is beside the point. This board is meant for discussion not a consensus agreement, and I think we sometimes forget that.

yeah we already know black to you is white to me lol. no worries
 

What a great juxtaposition...a picture of unbridled joy and optimism...an imagination utterly alive.

Then you look left and you see the "Cap'n" and his pangs for having to tote his self-ascribed "reason"...the worries of one who imagines he's doing some heavy lifting. Not much to see with that guy. He gives rise to method men and movies about Zombies. 21st century dark age buffoon pretends at open mindedness while running the tunnels of a man made myth. Indeed, the picture summarizes the difference between mice and man.
 
Can we change the thread title to "a boy and his shroud" please?

Or maybe Cam Newton with a towel over his head...

Go sit in the corner with faceplant. You guys study the Sheetrock for awhile...and don't be spooked by the shadows. It's just the sun and the clouds passing you by.

The cousin of the guy who found the Shroud of Turin invented three card monte.

no i think you misinterpreted. i'm saying you're a child. or at least you think like a child when it comes to certain issues.
