I realize people get away with forgery. But when you focus an intense light on a forgery there is no forgery that can stand. The most intense light ever focused on any artifact is on the Shroud. Scientists know this, which is why they were very confident that they would prove it was a forgery within the two weeks of the original study. 30 years later the consensus among those involved is that if it were not for the implication the shroud would have been declared authentic a long time ago.
As for the experts, 30 years ago I was told the story of the crucifixion was false because they don't scourge someone who is going to be crucified. Well, the shroud is very compelling evidence that at least one man was scourged and crucified and also had a crown of thorns on his head.
