Robert Villarreal, disclosed startling new findings proving that the sample of material used in 1988 to Carbon-14 (C-14) date the Shroud of Turin, which categorized the cloth as a medieval fake, could not have been from the original linen cloth because it was cotton.
I'm startled I tell you, just startled.

In defense of the scientists, the Vatican did not allow them to take a representative sample of the shroud.

One’s faith shouldn’t be incumbent of the Shroud ~ which I happen to believe is real.
By the same token, if it were proved not to be of Christ’s time that should also not refute one’s faith.
It seems to me that there are a lot of factions that have an interest in this who are not greatly concerned with the truth.

That the previous testing was flawed isn’t new, but I don’t recall the detail of the cotton fibers in previous articles.

The great minds can date a scrap of wood a thousand years old but cannot date a few scraps of cloth?

I’m willing to bet that the Shroud of Turin is at least as authentic as a religious relic as the ‘magic rock’ in the black cube in Mecca.

This is new? Or are the scientists finally getting around to presenting the papers. I thought this was all released a few years back.

The late Raymond Rogers work
invalidating the 1988 Carbon 14 tests of the Shroud or Turin, showing a medieval date, have been proved correct independently. PING!

Wow. Bummer, man; especially since the Vatican will not permit any more destructive tests.

This is news? Sky’s blue, water’s wet, etc. Anyone who knows anything about the Shroud knew this already.
