Dp you happen to have any scientific evidence that proves the Shroud to be authentic?

There is a HOST of evidence to indicate that the Shroud comes from the time and place of Christ's Crucifixion. Beyond that, faith, not science takes over. But if it were a “cold case” the evidence, while circumstantial, is very convincing.

But the carbon 14 tests WERE flawed and the mechanism by which the image was transferred to the Shroud has never been adequately explained.

Do you happen to have any scientific evidence that proves the Shroud to be authentic?

It's funny; I have a theory as to how the image might have been formed naturally through long proximity to a prototype that was originally made from rock bearing sizable amounts of naturally-occurring radioactive materials. Both sides of the authentic/inauthentic crowd have given me grief over it. Both want it to be one thing or the other, and both seem to have a great deal of emotion invested in their respective beliefs.

Authentic what? A cloth that shows the inexplicable image of a crucified man that bearing wounds that indicate the man the cloth covered experienced beating and execution in a manner that matches the supposed unique manner that the person Jeshua Bar Josef experienced approximately 2000 years ago? Yes.

Authentic in that scientific evidence shows that this Shroud is the shroud of one Jeshua Bar Josef and no other? No.

This is a photo of an "authentic" and "game-worn" Alex Rodriguez jersey from the 2008 season. Even with eyewitness accounts and testimonitals, there is no scientific method to prove without question that it is the same jersey A-Rod wore that day. Still, there is no shortage of fans, zealots, and true-believers lining up to pay several thousand dollars for the item.
