What a bunch of nonsense. Why would he spend so much time trying to disprove the shroud? The fact that he claims it a fake only makes me more inclined to accept its authenticity.An Italian scientist says he has reproduced the Shroud of Turin, a feat that he says proves definitively that the linen some Christians revere as Jesus Christ's burial cloth is a medieval fake.
The shroud, measuring 14 feet, 4 inches by 3 feet, 7 inches bears the image, eerily reversed like a photographic negative, of a crucified man some believers say is Christ.
"We have shown that is possible to reproduce something which has the same characteristics as the Shroud," Luigi Garlaschelli, who is due to illustrate the results at a conference on the para-normal this weekend in northern Italy, said on Monday.
A professor of organic chemistry at the University of Pavia, Garlaschelli made available to Reuters the paper he will deliver and the accompanying comparative photographs.
The Shroud of Turin shows the back and front of a bearded man with long hair, his arms crossed on his chest, while the entire cloth is marked by what appears to be rivulets of blood from wounds in the wrists, feet and side.
Garlaschelli received funding for his work by an Italian association of atheists and agnostics but said it had no effect on his results. Oh yeah...that explains a lot.

Who else do you think is going to fund such research, since religious lemmings are more interested in convenience than truth or reality.
how is that genius going to explain away an empty tomb!
