"Oh, I'm sorry, you must be the PhD physicist who conducted the experiment that determined the length of time it took. "

Hmm... I thought the problem was that we were NOT able to duplicate the creation of the image - I suppose I was mistaken and you know better then all the others here that say it is a mystery how the image was created ....
</snide crap>
The type of energy used and its origination are a mystery, that is correct. But tests have shown time and again that a burst of energy 1/10th of a second long would create a similar image. Not only of the person inside the shroud, but also anything else in there with him, such as the hundreds of flowers and leaves found to have also been imprinted into the shroud's image. The botany aspect of the Shroud of Turin is probably the most convincing piece of the research done by the STRP (Shroud of Turin Reasearch Project) team, a collection of expert researchers from many different scientific backgrounds whose leader, Dr. Tom D'Mahala, gives periodic seminars on the group's research and findings. I have had the pleasure of attending two of these seminars, and the findings are irrefutable. While they cannot absolutely, for all the world to know, claim that it IS Jesus' burial cloth, they're very close to being able to do it.
This man, Dr. D'Mahala, is probably the world's foremost authority on the Shroud of Turin at the moment, so I would be much more likely to believe what he personally said through his own team's research than what some armchair skeptics on FR think.
