Now let me get this straight. We should ignore the carbon-14 dating because at least eight DIFFERENT cloths are mentioned in different historical accounts, several of which are known to have existed at the same time, and this MIGHT be one of them? The people who support the argument that it's genuine overlap alarmingly with people who believe in UFOs and Kirlian photography of auras. There's an incredibly rich tradition of hucksterism and foolishness surrounding spiritual matters, and I am a skeptic of anything but irrefutable physical evidence when it comes to such artifacts. No argument in the world can refute carbon-14 dating. I remember when I first heard that the carbon-14 dating was going to be done, I was very excited, and then after the results were published, I was disappointed, but then I realized that I don't need the Shroud of Turin to be authentic to believe in Christ and His teachings.
