..and then were able to refute the original findings of the carbon testing, because of the handling of the shroud, through the years, of the pieces they tested..or didn't you get that far into the video??
Also they had evidence that the shroud was in existence in Turkey, predating the 13th century....like the seventh century...again, did you watch that far?



Well, so maybe Jesus only needed to live to only seven hundred and odd years old and not thirteen hundred and odd. And you don't get false results from cloth due to the way it was handled. You get false results if what you're testing is not what you think it is. I have a sneaky feeling that the Vatican was not going to be too keen on an accidental medieval bit getting tested that wasn't part of the original. Of all people, you'd have thought they'd have kept an eye on that! The shroud is indeed a fascinating piece of cloth, there's no denying. But do you think it bears the true image of the dead body of Jesus?
