I'm sorry that you feel that way. And I certainly respect your right to believe as you wish.

It was probably foolish to carbon 14 date the Shroud of Turin in the first place, back in 1988. But it was done. And many skeptics cheered; understandably. Science, some said, had scored a victory.

But those tests were flawed. We know that now. That is not about religion. That is about science.

I love science. I believe in science and I marvel at our 13 billion old universe, evolution and geology and so many things that science can teach us. I just happen to be a Christian which is a matter of faith, not science.

I'm fascinated by the Shroud because it is something important to millions of Christians and because it sheds light on the historical Jesus (if it is real) and it may help explain why Christianity flourished in our world.

This is about science. It is only about religion if you make it about that. Notice I said Jesus and not Christ. That is something science cannot address.

You should not be offended. You should speak out about what you believe but don't be offended by good science.
