The mystery of the Holy Shroud

[abra.r...@libero.it]

The Holy Shroud in Turin is and remains a riddle, as honestly
recognised by the manager of the most important of the three
laboratories which analysed the cloth by using the carbon 14. This
manager acknowledged a serious mistake in the dating.
The only means we have at disposal to solve the riddle is that of
recognizing that, without any doubt, in such Holy Linen happened
something that we cannot and never we’ll be capable to explain : the
Resurrection of Christ.

Say, for the sake of argument, the shroud was shown to date back to
the time of the reported crucifixion. Why would that be significant?

It'd probably be a blow to the pride of several thousands of
generations of beetle.

And yet you can't name them or him?

Seems you like to peddle this dubious tale in humanist groups. It's still
wrong. However much you wish it to be, it isn't old enough to be genuine.

I came across an email address for someone doing a talk about the Oxford
University involvement and so sent a message off asking her about the areas
selected for testing and about possible contamination etc. She assured me
that the samples were very carefully selected from appropriate areas and
that the samples were cleaned to remove any contaminants. I don't think they
had any doubts over the accuracy of their tests.
