I’m a hardcore Christian who thinks the evidence indicates the Shroud COULD have been Christ’s burial cloth. We will never be able to tell for CERTAIN.

I also believe the evidence for evolution is overwhelming valid.

I heard there was a fire in medieval times in the church housing the Shroud back in the Middle Ages. Some experts believe the radio carbon dating was inaccurate due to the remnants of soot that are imbedded in the Shroud, and have been, since that fire many centuries ago.

Also, I remember that back in 1988, it was reported that there were spores of some kind on the Shroud, and scientists determined that these spores were from plant life found only in the Middle East.

It’s all going to come down to the old saying....
“For true believers, no explanation is necessary;
for non-believers, no explanation is satisfactory.”
