Saint Peter's Bones

[Randy Carson]

Didn't carbon dating prove that the shroud was from around the 1300s?  Which would have been about 1300 years too late.  Someone even duplicated the efforts using only material that would have been available at the time (much unlike a certain other project of building the ark.)  

I'm not sure why people try to defend the shroud so strongly.  If it's not legitimately the burial cloth, wouldn't you want to know?  Or would you rather believe it is, when it isn't?

Chemical analysis established that the S of T originated from the Middle Ages. When those test results are overturned by new data that fits into the timeline in which Jesus lived, it will deserve further consideration by serious people.

Seriously the Shroud of Turin was proved to be fake by Carbon dating as produced in medieval times, and its image of Jesus has been reproduced by an Italian chemist using materials available in medieval Europe.

The 1988 carbon dating of the Shroud was invalidated by flawed sampling. Specifically, the samples were taken from patches sewn onto the original linen and from the edges of the cloth that were frequently handled during its various expositions.

But to be fair to Fake Messiah, let's try to stay focused on the OP.
