A new book on a scientific analysis of the Shroud of Turin confirms what WND reported more than a year ago – the relic is not a medieval forgery. The latest tests date the shroud to between 300 BC and 400 AD. The results of the tests are documented in the book “Il Mistero della Sindone” or The Mystery of the Shroud, written by Giulio Fanti, a professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at Italy’s Padua University, and Saverio Gaeta, a journalist. Scientists measured radiation intensity using infra-red light and spectroscopy to analyze the shroud, which is kept in a climate-controlled case in Turin, Italy. Fanti said the imprint was caused by a blast of “exceptional radiation.” That is essentially what WND reported in Decemeber 2011, that the imprint on the shroud was likely caused by a burst of ultraviolet light that was beyond the technical capabilities of medieval forgers. Get the full story in “The Case for Christ’s Resurrection,” “The Fabric of Time,” and “Stunning Science of the Shroud.” Then enjoy the fictional adventures in “The Shroud Codex.” That finding is also remarkably similar to the fictional explanation WND staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi provided in his 2010 novel on the Shroud of Turin, “The Shroud Codex.” In 2011, Corsi told WND, “What the Italian scientists are saying is that the image was created on the shroud in a burst of energy that Christian believers would understand as physical proof of the Resurrection.” And, in 2010, Corsi had reported in WND that scientists were building the case that the Turin image was created by radiation that emanated from the body itself, a theory remarkably supportive of the traditional resurrection account that is central to Christian theology. A scientific paper co-authored by attorney and historian Mark Antonacci and physicist Arthur Lind argued that the shroud image might constitute what amounts to a photograph taken at the instant Jesus’ body transformed as he rose from the dead. Scientists had been unable to explain the image of a bearded man’s body with wounds in the wrist, feet and chest on a 14-foot linen cloth. Many Christians believe it the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.

Whether we believe it is authentic or not is not the most important issue. The most important issue is not to let your faith in God and Jesus waiver.
I feel the image has no folds or imperfections so the person wasn’t wrapped at all which makes zero sense as to how a perfect image could be laid on the cloth.
Anyone who does texture or bit mapping of a 3 D object will tell you the image would not be perfectly imprinted like the shroud, ever. Unless the shroud wasn’t touching this body of course.
Second, I still have yet for one person to come forward and explain how this European looking Jesus was in the land of the Jews and he doesn’t not look Jewish, black, or Arabian?
The only answer I get is, “You gotta have faith.”
To which I simply say,
“No sir, for science, you have to have fact, or it’s only fiction.”
