Didn’t a guy by the name of Douglas Wilson show a couple of years ago how the shroud could have been a made? I think he was a pastor or something in Idaho at the time.

I think that would have been pounded by the media into the collective mindset of the culture if he had.

They'd do anything to deprive Christianity of a major icon of the faith.

Last I had heard though was that there has been no one to date who has been able to come up with a convincing or accurate duplicate that can endure the same level of scrutiny.

No, he made some sun bleached linen images... that faded as the sun bleached the rest of the cloth to match. He worked from a negative to duplicate another negative image. His did not look much like the Shroud... but it was a light image, not a 3D terrain map, which is what the Shroud image actually is.
