It's only been debunked a few dozen times.

Most prominently by the Bible itself.

40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.

Strips of linen, not a whole shroud, plus a separate head cloth.

The Bible is not capable of debunking anything. Do you have any idea how many times that passage has been retold, transcribed, and translated before getting into the English language copy you quoted? Lots of the English language copies don't even agree on things. I think I'll stick with the scientists here for evidence that the shroud is fake.

No, you see, other people have believed in it so it must be true!

The people who say this are heathens, so their opinions don't count!
