The Shroud of Turin is purported to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, and its authenticity has thus aroused intense and sometimes hostile debate between those who believe that the Shroud is authentic, and those who do not. Accepting or rejecting the authenticity of the Shroud is to many an issue of Christian or anti-Christian conviction. This is especially true for anti-Christians - if the Shroud is a fake it doesn't really affect the pro-Christian side, but if it is authentic then it is dramatic evidence in favor of it. So the Shroud of Turin is the most highly and intensively studied artifact in the history of the world. "Somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 scientific man-hours have been spent on it, with the best analytical tools available” according to one source. 2. Please note that this is not about "proof" in the scientific sense because it is not possible to prove anything historical. For example, we can't prove that Julius Caesar lived, so likewise we can't prove that the Shroud was the burial cloth of Christ. What we can do is examine the evidence that supports or challenges that assertion. Regardless of conviction, those who seriously seek to study the Shroud should approach it with an open mind and suspend their religious persuasions as they examine the evidence, both pro and con. 3. Regardless of our convictions, it is right that we should question the Shroud and approach it with skepticism because the history of religious artifacts is filled with fraudulent attempts to make money at the expense of naïve worshippers. Many fake shrouds have been produced, and in 1902 a researcher claimed that there were forty-two medieval shrouds of Christ around Europe. However, they were not intended to deceive anyone - most were either simply pieces of cloth or artistic copies, and some of these “shrouds” still exist. Scientific challenges 1. There have been many attempts to debunk the Shroud, and perhaps the main one is in regard to dating. The Carbon 14 dating in 1988 indicated that the cloth was medieval (1260 to 1390 AD). However, it was later discovered that the pieces used for testing contained rewoven fibers that had been used to repair the cloth, so the C14 dating was discredited.
A new non-destructive method of dating ancient textiles known as WAXS (wide-angle x- ray scattering) has been developed which operates by detecting the degree of structural
degradation of threads from a cloth. Using that method a thread from the Shroud was dated to the same period as a line fragment from the siege of Masada (55-74 AD), so it places the Shroud in the era of Christ's death and resurrection, ca. 33 AD. No other grave cloth in history has ever had an image on it like the Shroud. Other scientific challenges have claimed that the Shroud was: 2. Learn more about your ad choices.

With Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Links to articlehttps://covid19.onedaymd.com/2025/07/aseem-malhotra-harm-caused-by-covid.htmlhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/13/aseem-malhotra-interview/https://doctoraseem.com/its-time-for-the-medical-establishment-to-admit-they-made-a-terrible-mistake/Uploaded 19-07-25Ancient wisdom teaches us that evil is rooted in ignorance but as Steven Hawking alluded to, the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge. In other words the greatest barrier to the truth is psychological, not intellectual. Two of those major psychological barriers have become most prevalent at an individual, population and institutional level over the past 5 years since the world was turned upside down at the start of the covid pandemic. The first of these which we can all relate to is the emotional phenomenon of fear. Then in a state of fear it impedes one’s ability to engage in critical thinking and simultaneously makes us more compliant to authoritarian rule. For example leaked WhatsApp messages (published on the front page of the Daily Telegraph) revealed as regards to covid the Secretary of State’s plan was to “ frighten the pants off the public”. Such tactics replicated by government bodies around the world amplified by the media grossly exaggerated covid risk in the minds of the public. For example 30-50% of American’s when surveyed believed their risk of being hospitalised with covid was 50%, when the actual risk was much below 1% even during the worst strain. Cutting through all the noise research from the most cited medical researcher in the world ( someone I describe as the Stephen Hawking of medicine) Professor John Ioannidis revealed that by the end of 2020 in under 70’s the infection fatality rate was 0.05%, in other words 1 in 2000, less than the overall infection fatality rate than the flu at 1 in 1000. As the director of health literacy at the Max Planc institute in Berlin, Gerd Gigerenzer has previously stated “ without understanding the numbers involved the public are vulnerable to exploitation of their hopes and fears by political and commercial interests”.The second psychological barrier to the truth which we are all potentially susceptible to is one of wilful blindness. This is when human beings turn a blind eye to the truth in order to feel safe, avoid conflict, reduce anxiety and to protect prestige and fragile egos. Examples of this on an individual level can be turning a blind eye to the affair of your partner. On an institutional level historical examples include the BBC and Jimmy Saville, Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein, and the Catholic Church and child molestation. Why do I mention this? Because it is in my view these psychological barriers ( which I also temporarily suffered from) that are hindering policy makers, journalists and influential sections of the medical establishment to acknowledge the greatest medical mistake with ongoing catastrophic harm to public health that we will likely witness in our lifetime. Yes, I’m talking about the covid mRNA vaccine which in reality is more accurately a prophylactic gene therapy. As someone who took two doses and supported its use for high risk and the elderly on Good Morning Britain in February 2021 my revelation came the hard way. On the 26th of July 2021, my father, Dr Kailash Chand Malhotra OBE, retired GP and honorary vice president of the British Medical Association, a very fit and healthy man in comparison to his 73 year old peers suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.Subsequent post mortem confirmed severe coronary artery disease that had significantly accelerated within a few years of having relatively mild disease. As an expert in coronary artery disease and its progression, this didn’t make any sense to me and I even remember angrily blocking someone on twitter who suggested this was because Learn more about your ad choices.
