Carbon dating in 1988 claimed the image of the man could not be that of Jesus because the shroud was medieval. But many have rejected that result and want further scientific tests to be carried out.

How many times have I seen statements like this in which the writer doesn't bother to mention why the carbon 14 testing was bogus? There's always the underlying implication that the "rejectors" are just religious fanatics who ignore science.

We’re all sick of it but ... no one can attest beyond a shadow of a doubt that the shroud is authentic. Until then, we will have to wince at the news coverage.

When anyone sees any disinformation, religious, political or other out there please log in and reply. Be careful of your facts but let the truth be known. Do not let lies stand. Even if someone else has already posted the truth do it again in your own words. Don't be afraid of the commie trolls, they count on it. The post is mightier than the sword.
