Every peer reviewed scientific investigation to date, which includes over 102 different scientific disciplines and the best scientists on the planet - has all pointed to the authenticity of the Shroud. Mathematician and Cosmologist Bruno Barberis has calculated that the odds of this NOT being Jesus is 1 in 200,000,000,000. British Documentary film maker David Rolfe offered £1 million to anybody who could replicate the shroud and he never had a single person accept the challenge. 🧵

1 in 200,000,000,000+ is the odds that this is not Jesus. Here is what those odds actually mean when put into real world perspective: ​More Than Double Earth's Entire History: Approximately 117 billion human beings have lived on Earth in all of human history. A 1 in 200 billion chance means that if every single human who ever existed in history was crucified by Rome in the 1st century under identical conditions, the probability dictates it still wouldn't happen to a single other person. ​Winning the Powerball 3 Times In a Row: The odds of winning a standard 6-number mega lottery are roughly 1 in 292 million. Matching the Shroud's specific criteria on anyone else is equivalent to buying one ticket and winning the jackpot three consecutive times. ​Flipping a Coin 38 Times in a Row: It is statistically identical to flipping a fair coin 38 times and landing on heads every single time (2^{38} \approx 274 \text{ billion}).
