Why an Atheist Thinks the Shroud of Turin is the Real Deal

Things People See on the Shroud

The images of a person, certainly a man if we look closely, exists on the shroud. And many of well pronounced features are part of that image. But there may be other parts of the images that some people claim to see that are pareidolic perceptions.

Takeo Watanabe’s views “that subliminally learning something ‘too well’” results in false positives may explain many reported images and features of the shroud image. A botanist may see images of flowers and plants. A numismaticist may see images of ancient coins. A dentist may see what looks like teeth. It would be totally unfair to say that this is what happened when such experts saw these things. But it would be unfair to you to not suggest the possibility.
