The problem with the idea that the image on the shroud of Turin is that of Jesus is that various tests have been performed on the shroud, and it was radiocarbon dated in 1988 by three independent teams of scientists whose results were published in Nature. Their findings were that the shroud was made during the Middle Ages, approximately 1300 years after Jesus lived.

Advocates of the idea that the shroud of Turin actually was Jesus' shroud squawked like a flock of angry ducks and they still carry on the argument, but science is science. . . .

The only "evidence" they have is that the image on the shroud resembles the Renaissance painting depictions of Jesus—and nobody, including the artists, knew--or knows--hat Jesus really looked like.
