The carbon dating was done on a piece of repaired fabric.

If you think it's a fake, how did they do it? All te smartest scentist have tested it and most say it's for real!

First off, I never said it was a "fake". There is reason for skepticism that this is THE BURIAL CLOTH of Christ. Scientists mostly believe carbon dating is the most accurate means of determining ages of artifacts.
And if it is from that age, how many people were crucified then? Thousands? Millions? There is reason for healthy skepticism. I'd like to belief it's real, but there's a lot of unknowns at play here, and the chance this is really THE CLOTH is awfully slim at best.
