There is a Shroud and it is in Turin. That makes it a real object. How the image got there science can not explain. There have been dozens of theories but to date no one has been able to duplicate the shroud. So far carbon dating shows the shroud to be made centuries after the time of Christ.

Put it this way--one of the few things that the Bible and science agree on is that the Turin Shroud is NOT the burial shroud of Christ.
It is a fascinating object, but neither miraculous nor holy.

Personally, I think the shroud of Turin is one of millions of medeival "relics" supposedly belonging to the Christ. Selling such relics was big business during the dark ages, if we put together all the peices of wood that were supposed to have come from the true cross, we would wipe out a forest with that much wood....

Oh it's a shroud....and it is in Turin...but that is where the reality stops.

For a long time it was believed to be genuine, but then they found that the carbon dating they used to check it wasn't reliable. Since then they've proved it's a mediaeval fake. It's something people want to believe, but the truth is disappointing.

I say it's real. There is evidence suggesting that the shroud is real.

Not real. It's been scientifically studied.
