G-d will not permit us to have enough evidence to "prove" it is the real death shrod of Christ. If he did so--we would lose "free will." We must chose by faith alone. This is why G-d will not show himself in a way that will prove he exists. He will always give us the choice to not believe. If the Shroud was proved for a fact to be an item proving the resurection--Free Will would vanish.

No it wouldn't. We all have the free will to choose to believe in any or no religion at all and proving the Shroud was of Jesus or not will not change that.

Interesting point. But I imagine it another way.

If it were "proven" it would then become an "event of physics" not a "miracle" at all you see.

And government grants would be let to try to develop the "resurrection treatment" as a medical tool.
