TRUTH ABOUT TURIN SHROUD SHROUDED BY BAD SCIENCE

OXFORD, Ohio (Wireless Flash) -- Although a new study that analyzed pollen found on the Shroud of Turin reveals that the icon may be authentic, but at least one researcher thinks the findings are shrouded in inaccuracy. Dr. Steven Shafersman, a micro-paleontologist at the University of Miami-Oxford, claims it's impossible to date pollen back to the time of Christ and suspects the researchers are merely trying to promote religion. According to Shafersman, even if the pollen did come from Israel, there is ample evidence proving the shroud was actually created between 1260 and 1390 A.D. Previous tests on the cloth also reveal that the alleged "blood stains" are actually red ocher and vermillion tempura paint, which indicates the work of an artist. But the biggest proof the Shroud of Turin is a sham may be the historical record. Shafersman says the shroud was declared a fake back in the 14th Century by the artist who supposedly created it.
