They are not exactly sure who mark or John were
Luke was a Doctor/scientist who double and triple checked the details.[/quote]
The gospels were stories told orally from one generation to the next. They were not written down for another 200 years after the death of Jesus. Do you think the accounts were still completely accurate by then?[/quote]

Not sure the basic story is probably accurate . Whether it was embellished or watered down is possible .  Scientifically , the shroud of Turin has a huge effect on me. The shroud is the most confounding and inexplicable artifact in the world and it just so happens to have the image of a man with crucifiction / scourging wounds and crown of thorns head damage.[/quote]

have scientists formed any opinions about the shroud - does it date to the correct time period, etc.? [/quote]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_14_dating_of_the_Shroud_of_Turin[/quote]

Wikipedia states "In 1988, scientists at three separate laboratories dated samples from the Shroud to a range of AD 1260–1390, which coincides with the first certain appearance of the shroud in the 1350s and is much later than the burial of Jesus Christ.[1]"

But so what if the shroud dated back to the first century?  It still would not prove that it came from Jesus' tomb or that Jesus was the son of god.  And why would god only send us this one dubious shroud to prove the existence of his son? Nope - sounds much more like a trick of an shyster than an act of god.[/quote]

I told you, PP.  Out comes the "groundhog!"  lol

There are many GROUNDHOGS on this forum - many![/quote]
