The dates aren't problematic, unless you really, really want the shroud to be 1st century. But it isn't, so you have to make up new "techniques" with no validity to "prove" that there's some sort of problem with them. Which there isn't.When you know the RC date is problematic, Scientists look for other ways and additional data. They go where evidence leads

I could go on.
But you won't read those links, so here's a quote: "Many of the faithful sincerely believe that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of our Lord, Jesus Christ"
so why bother running all the tests in the first place?Atheists seem more intent on challenging it, than the church does in confirming it.
it's wrong if you believe the shroud is 1st century. If you understand science and how radiocarbon dating actually works the dates are correct. The "answer" may be "wrong" to those who really, really want the shroud to be 1st century, however. Which doesn't make it wrong.why they gave the wrong answer
So yes, keep up with the lies and deceptions, and the insults, it's doing you the world of good.
