Actually, the atheist, pseudo scientists claimed that the shroud could be no more than 800 years old. PBS was only too pleased to broadcast these "scientific findings". But more recent tests, including DNA and other methods, have proved the Shroud to be at least 1,900 years old. Among many other findings, they found mold spores embedded in the Shroud from plants that are native only to Israel. And the scientists who did their "tests" in 1994 said the Shroud probably never left France and Italy. Seems they were wrong not only about its age, but also about its place of origin. Funny, isn't it, how the evolutionist "scientists" seem to discover what they were looking for in the first place. And no matter how many times they get proven wrong they maintain their arrogance. And here I was thinking that scientists were supposed to have open minds.
