I don't think that they could possibly be confident that they've found relics from The Last Supper.  How could they possibly identify them?  And if you say "from the painting", I'll smack you, because the famous painting of it was made over 1000 years later :-P

The Shroud of Turin can't be proven real, or fake.  So I will choose to believe that it's fake, because I'd rather be unsure than to have a false belief.

Believing it's fake isn't being unsure.  :)

So have I; they're in my dishwasher. How can they prove the "relics" are actually from the Last Supper? Really, they can't.

Carbon dating, same with the Shroud of Turin. The relics are in the place described, and are carbon dated to the time described. Although its not totally proved, its not disproved either. Being in your dishwasher, thats disproving it.

So they know exactly where the Last Supper took place?  Not to mention that carbon dating is only accurate to a few years, not a few hours.

I was hoping nobody would notice that  :-P

I couldn't think of the right wording, but what I meant was, "I'd rather err on the side of caution".  Better?

Hehe, I know what you meant.
