Of course the amount of study matters. It’s extraordinary for the shroud to attract scientists to even study the shroud. Do we see that with any other religious artifact? None comes close. Why would non-religious scientists even want to study it? Why has the study of it lead many of them to believe it’s authentic? Why has the shroud generated so many peer-reviewed articles, papers, conferences, books, journals, etc?
