Okay, so Jabba awaits my second coming. Ordinary Christian procedure. What's the big deal? Or even the medium deal?
The kids-meal-size deal? With free toy, I trust.

Plot twist: Sackett reappears in a flash of divine light, and the image on the shroud mysteriously disappears.Okay, so Jabba awaits my second coming.
Quod scripsi, scripsi.You killed Jabba. You are the Pilate of the ISF.
I take it that flounce means that you can't manage to refute the posts about the Codex and the stats, in the same way you couldn't refute the debunking of your limestone claims?I don't need to argue with name-callers.
Excellent. That should free up some of your precious time to address your argument's problem with begging the question.I don't need to argue with name-callers.
I don't need to argue with name-callers.
You haven't been arguing. You've been making claims and backing away when they are challenged.I don't need to argue with name-callers.
What name were you called, and by whom?I don't need to argue with name-callers.
Especially given it was kept in the open in cold, draughty, chapels for centuries.Every article supporting the True Shroud narrative comes with a catch-22. For instance, the linen deteriorates in temperature and humidity extremes. So even the x-ray boys say:
"Scientists say that the shroud can conclusively be said to be 20 centuries old only if there is further evidence showing the relic was kept safely at an average temperature of about 22C and relative humidity of around 55 per cent for 13 centuries before it emerged."
Which, based on what we know of medieval climate control, is not really possible.

Thank you.I really don't have time to go into it, but looking for overlapping confidence intervals (not simple sd multiples) is sometimes, somewhat, related to tests for difference. There's lots on the web about it, try reading (slowly and repeatedly) this link
And Jabba's "position" was shown to be a lie when we found his websiteThis was actually Jabba's claimed position: he didn't believe, but he wanted to, so he was trying to prove that the shroud was genuine (and, elsewhere, that he was immortal).
As I recall, he had a whole fan club of church ladies expressing how lucky we were to have Jabba to give us what for.And Jabba's "position" was shown to be a lie when we found his website
Nope, not Jabba.Just a short second there. Are you implying that I or any of my disciples have called you "Jabba?" Is your vanity that overwhelming? Your audacity?
Or your ambition? Here, in the sacrosanctity of the Library of the Shroud? Oh! Sir! At last, have you no decency? Have you no shame?
Have you got a 20-spot to see me through to my next welfare check? Say, even 5 bucks would feel pretty good.
Did you read the paper?Nope, not Jabba.
There is still a problem with the heterogeneity of the shroud samples.
And the shroud appeared in 1355, but the range of the radiocarbon dates are 1260 to 1390.
So it's inconclusive.
I think it's highly indicative, that the samples cluster around the date it's held to have first appeared.Nope, not Jabba.
