Twenty years after radiocarbon dating supposedly proved once and for all that the Shroud of Turin was a medieval hoax, scientists are revisiting their research to see if the tests were erroneous and the shroud really dates back to the time of Christ.
“The result of the first test done in 1988 was almost an embarrassment at some point,” Barrie Schwortz, the photographer who documented the original Shroud of Turin Project, told TODAY’s Matt Lauer in a Good Friday interview in New York. “Now that we’re 20 years later, the technology certainly has improved.”
wait christ did exist?
the problem with carbon dating on the shroud is that it has been contaminated multiple times during fires etc… and the church only let them take one tiny square… in order to do it correctly it needs to come from multiple locations on the shroud, and use differant types of radio dating
I really don’t know why they have to carbon date it. Let the idiots believe in the religion they do. I don’t see the point in proving to them that they have been following a myth all their lives.
