I’ve never heard of someone, Jewish or not, who argued that Christ never existed. If it really is a shroud of Jesus, it doesn’t really prove anything one way or another (unless you believe that the shroud was created supernaturally, I suppose)

I think it's pretty self-evident that if the Shroud of Turin is really the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, then it was obviously created in some kind of "supernatural" manner. Otherwise, we could expect to find other examples of similar burial shrouds (with similar images on them) all over the Middle East, no?

I happen to think that -- from a purely physical standpoint -- the Shroud was created through a very "natural" process (i.e., the process that was used to create it could be replicated in a laboratory environment if the same conditions were present). Does that make any sense?
