Read the Christ Clone Trilogy, they are excellent books. The first book "In His Image" is all about the shroud and is factual based upon actual research. A hint-the shroud produces a clone of Jesus and the books are about end times based on revelations. These books are better then the "Left Behind" series, I felt they were poorly written.

What's this all about?
To: mjp
Hers' a little about the author of the books
James BeauSeigneur, a former intelligence analyst for the National Security Agency and newspaper publisher, taught political science at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and in 1980 was the Republican nominee for U.S. Congress running against Al Gore. His published works include manuals on strategic defense and military avionics; newspaper articles; speeches for U.S. Congressional and Senatorial candidates; and lyrics for several published songs written with Timothy J. Ripley and Mark Ford.

The international interests suspect they may be left out of a possible DNA profile or worse. I doubt the Vatican would even consider cloning....if such a thing could possibly be done.
The ability to apply new technology moves faster than we realise. I hope it doesn't move as fast as my imagination....

It isn't what you think, I am a Christian and would not read something that blasphemed Christ. Remember, for every good thing Jesus does there is a evil counter-fitter. This book was recommended to me by other Christians who had read the "Left Behind" series as well. The plot is great and stays on scripture, the author is Christian and has even included footnotes with both biblical and factual references.

It's great to learn new information concerning the shroud. I was of the opinion that the shroud had been examined by two photographers and two scientists one from the University of Milan and one from Cal Poly. Their conclusion was that the shroud was a clever imaging that was common in the 13th cwntury. This imaging had survived in other forms (different cloth, etc.), but society at the time viewed it as "trash" and generally treated it as such. Thus only fragments of others remain. The Shroud at Turin was of a crusader and was encased in a sarcophagus thus preserving it from the elements.
Please advise.

Darn Dating!
It sounds like Rome has found someone who will tell them what they want to hear.

This would be plausible...if the Shroud wasn't a photonegative. Please explain how 13th Century charlatans came up with a photonegative on a piece of pigment-free cloth and I'll believe the non-"debunking" that was done in the '80s.

Heh. One word. "UCAI".

About the same time that the shroud was discovered, Saint Becky of Turin reported the theft of her beach towel.

Looks like atheists have found another piece of evidence to avoid.
To: HumanaeVitae
I know this is asking a lot, but use your head.
Do you think, after the last set of tests failing
to make the shroud old enough, that the
Vatican secretly picked this new testing lab
for its objectivity?
