[Conservative til I die]

Gcruse, let's just assume for argument's sake that the new testing, done by esteemed scientists and skeptics, proves that the carbon date tests were flawed, and the Shroud really dates to the 1st Century. Will you believe it? Or still say "BINGO?"

Gcruse, let's just assume for argument's sake that the
new testing, done by esteemed scientists and skeptics, proves that the
carbon date tests were flawed, and the Shroud really
dates to the 1st Century. Will you believe it? Or still say "BINGO?"

New testing, done in secret, by a lab chosen
solely by the Vatican?    Sure, I'd believe their
results as strongly as I did those of the lab
results in the mid-nineties that showed after
almost infinite dilution, wherein it was impossible
any molecules of the original material could
be left in the water, that traces of the
previous presence remained.  Was I surprised
to find, much later, that the tests had been
sponsored by a homeopathic company
in France that sold highly diluted elixirs
on the theory that 'like cures like?'  Heh, no.
Science not done openly or peer
reviewed is usually not science at all.
