So for religion class we had to watch a video called Unwrapping The Shroud of Turin New Evidence which was one of the most painful things I ever watched (mostly due to it's excruciating length which is shortened if you speed it up by 25%). I'm still thinking about what I really think about it, but if you want and if you have time, give it a watch and let me know what you think.

Sorry you had to endure that.
These documentaries are ridiculous. You can also find similar documentaries on alien abduction.

Anyway, I am watching through it again (because I have to answer some questions before midnight), and I have a few nitpicks. These may not be valid, but these have been itching me.
Firstly, humans have a special ability (it may not be just humans) to see faces. Like this one; Consider pareidolia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
Secondly, the face on the Shroud of Turin is supposed to be Jesus right? But if you ask me, it looks like the popular, more accepted interpretation of Jesus, rather than, judging by forensic evidence, Jesus actually looked like. Just look at Dizzy's profile picture compared to this one; Also, now this is just trivial, but isn't Jesus' blood wine?

Should they be using carbon dating in lieu of radiometric dating?
EDIT: Okay maybe not because cloth has carbon 14 in it.

Re: Unwrapping The Shroud of Turin New Evidence
Is the documentary saying that 'faces of Jesus' have been found in bread or whatever, therefore Jesus?
