Newsvine - Pope: Scientific analysis done on St. Paul's bones

In terms of preservation, for even further analysis (DNA to determine who will be "king of the world") it seems odd that the thing that would obviate the evidence for their authenticity (touching them or by introducing "modern" materials in close proximity) would be what caused them to be considered for carbon-dating, since then apparently were, left wondering if by chance they are even older. C14 is often provided with + or - age variance and not entirely absolute and also subject to "readjustments" from further data since Libby was given the Nobel Prize for its discovery.
