Bill O'Reilly, who recently made news in our household by saying he was "not a scientist" (I tease), had Barrie Schwortz on, a Shroud of Turin scholar. From the Free Republic site:
A January 20, 2005 article in the scholarly, peer-reviewed scientific journal Thermochimica Acta (Volume 425, pages 189-194, by Raymond N. Rogers, Los Alamos National Laboratory, University of California) makes it perfectly clear: the carbon 14 dating sample cut from the Shroud in 1988 was not valid. In fact, the Shroud is much older than the carbon 14 tests suggested.O'Reilly didn't ask the question I wanted him to. I wanted him to ask Mr. Schwortz whether his Shroud work has given him reason to re-examine the claims of Christianity (Schwortz is Jewish).
