The arms wouldn't reach that far.Yes, the fingers are extra long on the right hand to cover the genitals. That's all I have to say about that.

I say that obvious forger is obvious.So you say the forger made a mistake?
True. The timing of the fake's appearance during the relic craze is one factor against it.Was and is. Claiming that the Archbishop of Turin would want to sabotage a test for the authenticity of the shroud by substituting medieval cloth requires him to act against his interest.
The image is very obviously wrong. This is one of the numerous factors showing the cloth is a medieval fake.Yes, that's why the image on the shroud is correct, and all the paintings on the subject are wrong, and which ones would the forger have used?
Nonsense.The fingers being too long on the shroud is also a problem, any image of Christ from that time period should be perfect, not distorted.
That is also utter nonsense.The fact that the image is a photographic negative is sufficient to prove that it is not a forgery.
I know about the procedures. I have no doubt that I know more of the minutia than you do.Not total conspiratorial bollocks
" The other half was cut into three segments, and packaged for the labs in a separate room by Tite and the archbishop. The lab representatives were not present at this packaging process, in accordance with the protocol."

Radiocarbon dating of the Shroud of Turin - Wikiwand
The Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth that tradition associates with the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, has undergone numerous scientific tests, the most notable...www.wikiwand.com
Bollocks.The fact that the man on the shroud is naked is proof that it is not a forgery.
There is evidence of herringbone weave back to 500 BC and there is trade between Italy and the Middle East from at least that period.
Humanity.What's wrong with the shape of the head?
No.The fact that the image is a photographic negative is sufficient to prove that it is not a forgery.
Earlier you claimed that the Archbiship of Turin switched the fiber samples for the carbon-14 tests. I asked you some follow up questions. Will you please answer them?So you say...

Because all the paintings of the crucifixion show a loincloth.Why? Did medieval forgers not know what a naked man looks like?
And?Because all the paintings of the crucifixion show a loincloth.
And what is your evidence that that happened? Why would he want to do that?
Do, do, do the funky gibbon!Because all the paintings of the crucifixion show a loincloth.
And, a medieval forger would not have left the loincloth out of the picture.And?
Bollocks.
Cite your evidence for this assertion.
Humanity.
Photography was invented in the 19th century, too late for the forger to know about.
I know he didn't die for my sins either, not being a Catholic, Episcopalian, or Christian either.Woohoo! It's the AntiJabba!
But seriously, AntJab, I for one know that Christ didn't die for MY sins. He didn't have to.
Yours, now....
No, but I'd still like an answer to the questions I asked. This free-form fantasy seems to allude to the topics my question covered, but simply spins the conspiracy theory deeper without providing much of an answer.Because it shows that the man in the shroud survived the crucifixion, see the Quran, which means that Christ did not die for our sins, and what follows from that is that Christianity a total fraud.
An archbishop would possibly want to avoid that if at all possible.
Were there any other questions?
If it was genuine the arms would have been of a possible length. They aren't, therefore it's a forgery.And, a medieval forger would not have left the loincloth out of the picture.
