Scientific method step 6
Scientific method step 6 in the Shroud Context
The fallacy of the non sequitur. After weak hypotheses have been eliminated according to known facts and laws of nature, you hope that at least one remains. After a comprehensive study of the known facts, STURP members reported[1] that, "We really do not have a satisfactory, simple explanation for how the body image got on the cloth." Many writers who are supporting a religious/miraculous position take that statement to mean something like the following: "If science can not explain the observation, it must have had a miraculous origin." The Greeks recognized the fallacy of such an "argumentative leap" before 300 BC. The fact that science has not yet found an explanation proves nothing. Scientific Method Defined
