Why do non-christian scientists hide the evidence and discoveries that prove Biblical stories

I'm talkin about Shroud of Turin, Jesus' Tomb and Noah's wood.

This is why they call it "Faith". You believe even though the facts say you are dead wrong. Good for you! (its silly, but I support your right to be dead wrong)

Scientists are perfectly happy to discover anything. The Shroud of Turin is real. Its a fake. It was left here by aliens. Scientists do not care. They experiment and their results tell them what to believe, NOT a book written by Bronze Age shepherds.

The facts are simple. The Shroud is a fake. Jesus never existed. Noah's ark was a fable.

Scientists are skeptical people. However, if they hide evidence and discoveries then they are not scientists. Scientists may be inherently polarized against Biblical references because of the tremendous lack of evidence and are not easily swayed by one or two artifacts that themselves may not be proven to be authentic, but good ones are not prone to dismissal of an idea simply because it is uncomfortable to them. Scientists know how it feels to be held back by such idealism -- scientific progress has been halted over and over again for thousands of years because it didn't match the church's model of the universe -- so they would be hesitant to return the favor.

The Shroud has been tested quite thoroughly - and it is very solidly a medieval european manufacture - would seem to be difficult for Christ (in 30AD or so) to be wearing a shroud made of material manufactured inthe year 1300 AD +/- 50 years.

A *tomb* for Jesus's corpse would seem to be exactly contradictory to the biblical story of his resurrection and his being seen in the flesh 3 (and 4?) days after being put in the tomb of Joseph of Aramethea. The 'controversy' certainly hasn;t been hidden - scientists have discussed it at some length in articles - available to anyone that takes the trouble to read them There is really just one or two major looney-toons promoting this - - *despite* the fact that *religious* leaders have difficulties with it, and are backing the scientists on their dismissal of the ''controversy''.
