Tucker Carlson was left visibly stunned during a discussion with biblical scholar Dr Jeremiah Johnston about the Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus. Dr Johnston presented new scientific and forensic evidence, including a mathematician's calculation that there is a one-in-200-billion chance the shroud could belong to anyone other than Jesus of Nazareth. The shroud features rare blood types, pollen from flowers that bloom only in Israel, and traces of limestone unique to Jerusalem, all aligning with biblical accounts of the crucifixion.

Dr Johnston argued that previous radiocarbon dating in 1988 tested only a contaminated patch, not the original linen, challenging claims of a medieval origin. He further described the shroud's image as incredibly thin and unexplained by conventional methods, suggesting it may have formed through a sudden burst of energy at the moment of resurrection. Forensic details on the shroud, including hundreds of wounds and marks consistent with Roman crucifixion, reinforce its authenticity for many believers.

Recent scientific studies have also supported the possibility that the shroud is around 2,000 years old, citing the absence of compounds found in newer linen. Dr Johnston criticized the handling of past dating data, claiming vital information was suppressed for decades. Carlson admitted to being baffled by the evidence, as the discussion reignited debate over one of history's most mysterious religious artifacts.
