speaking of necessary proof and scientific reproducablity......heres a religious icon that the cathoholic church has kept as the shroud that wrapped thier christ at the time of his death. they have cleverly never come  out and said as much, but many church leaders have strongly suggested as much out of belief, which, as we know is good enough for followers.

scientists have now reproduced the image with materials and processes readily available to people in medievil europe.

now, if they could just re-approach darwin with such vigour we would be getting somewhere.
