Shroud of Turin -- The Real Deal?

[stitch626]

I have one thing more to say to thing whole thing.

I thought the Carbon Dating was in dispute due to a fire in the 1300's which could have damaged the Shroud.

The date is only one of the many reasons we know the thing is a fake. Not the least of which is the guy who "found" it coped to it being a forgery he made.

Bear in mind that C-14 is only a tiny fraction of the Carbon in the atmosphere. I read once that for the C-14 level to be off by enough to skew the results by 1,300 years, the shroud would have to absorb several times its own weight in carbon in that fire.

Seems an obvious fake to me. But believers seem determined to paint it as real, no matter what.

I was kinda pissed when they "debunked" it; I had an idea for a story about scientists trying to clone Jesus from the DNA on the shroud, and creating a horrifying monster instead. That one had potential, dammit!

I read a book where Christ's DNA was used to try and cure a brutal serial killer.............could Christ's holy nature save a man from his own demons? Since it was a Christian author......yes.
