A History of the Shroud of Turin...but not THE history

In this episode Jordan responds to a recent video from Capturing Christianity where he interviews Guy R. Powell about the Shroud of Turin. This video covers the radiocarbon dating, the history of the Shroud from Jerusalem to France, and various other claims.

Correction: At 41:18 I say "A lot of [the beta particles] will be decayed". I meant to say that a lot of the beta particles will be ABSORBED (by the Shroud itself)
