But the actual Shroud itself, has been available for scientific study from a variety of disciplines. All concurring lines of reproducible evidence are consistent with its being genuine.

I disagree with that. I am pretty sure the last scientific study of the shroud pinned its age to the Middle Ages.

Snerk.

If you are referring to the radiocarbon testing, the samples were taken all from one area of the Shroud; in violation of pre-agreed-upon protocols.

The funny thing is, when you look at the raw data for the dates assigned to the samples taken, they don't match. Furthermore, the area from which these samples were taken have been shown to be comprised of different material, with a different weave, from the rest of the Shroud.

Homogeneity of the sample is vital in analytic chemistry.

Cheers!

No. It did not. It dated a patch on the shroud that was made in the middle ages.
