They had a show on National Geographic Channel (to be replayed at 6 pm est. time this Sat.) where they carbon dated it and didn't trace it back to Jesus. Instead traced it back to Da Vinci, Who was ahead of his time and also worked with 3-D images. It was very fascinating to say the least! :)

This is the only scientific data that contradicts the authenticity of the Shroud, and recent research suggests that the carbon dating could have been thrown off by fire damage to the Shroud.

The evidence in favor of the Shroud's authenticity is so overwhelming in fact, that many scientists who have undertaken the task of disproving the Shroud's authenticity have ultimately converted to Christianity or Catholicism.
