Surely "could be authentic" is semantically the same as "could not be authentic"?   

So firstly they can only test how old it is surely, beyond that what might they test? The best they could hope for is that a new test dates closer to 2000 years ago than the middle ages, which was if memory serves the last result, would this fact alone be sufficient to believe in supernatural magic and deities?

They definitely shouldn't test it, they have everything to lose and nothing to gain, it seems to me.
