I'm always amused at how some of the more fundamentalist Christians scoff at Carbon-14 dating (and other proven dating techniques) until the dating technique is used to verify some probably-bogus relic. At which point, C-14 proves everything!

What a completely ignorant and bigoted comment!
What makes you think (sort of) that fundamentalists are Catholic?
They are Protestant, doofus.
The Catholic Church has accepted evolution and carbon14 datings from the start.
Why dont you read up on some subjects before shooting your mouth?
Are you up to date on anything?
If you're referring to the Shroud of Turin as a 'probably-bogus relic' you are very wrong. There is almost NO reason to believe that the Shroud is anything but an authentic and miraculous image of Our Lord.
Can you provide us with an example?
And your "scientific" reasoning for assessing the Shroud as bogus?
