The inscription was what was tested for the patina. The patina was in accord with a first century dating. The Shroud on the other hand was dated from the Renaissance period.

The Shroud on the other hand was dated from the Renaissance period.

How can that be? The Catholic church tells us that Constantine's mother Helen went to Jerusalem and found the shroud herself while artifact hunting. She also found a piece of wood (obviously petrified by now) and some nails from Jesus' cross. :-)

Can you not read:

At some time long after the natural processes of varnish and patination in a damp cave environment had been completed, someone carved a series of letters through the natural varnish on the ossuary. Then he or she covered the freshly cut letters with an imitation patina made from water and ground chalk.

Whether the patina is fake or not, you still have to address the 3 points I noted to prove that this James is who you think he is, i.e. the natural born son of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ.
