Which is why my faith in Jesus Christ would not be shaken one iota if the Shroud is proven to be a fake nor would it increase my faith if it appears geniune.
Science will never be able to prove that the Shroud is the burial garment of Jesus Christ but it could disprove it.
There are only three options, its a fake, its the image of Christ, or its the image of someone other than Christ. The first can be true and it does not at all affect Christianity. The second affirms Christianity. The third....well...yikes!
We can’t possibly know what science may be able to prove in the future. Do you think Galileo believed man would ever walk on the moon?
The Shroud’s authenticity or fraudulence has nothing to do with the Truth of Jesus. The best science has been able to do so far is say what the Shroud isn’t. As you said, they’ll never be able to prove it was once wrapped around our Savior...
