The Shroud stands as a monument and warning! Monument, as a proof that Jesus, Our Lord, did live, died and has risen as foretold in scriptures

The only thing the Shroud MIGHT stand as proof of, is that someone, who was crucified, also must have glowed in the dark really brightly after death.

Since the Gospels don't say anything about the soldiers being blinded by a bright light coming from within the tomb itself, for me this "relic" proves too much.

You obviously know your stuff, unlike many of the Christian believers on this site. But just for the record, what spectrum of light is visable to the human eye and what spectrum has science determined caused the image on the Shroud? Thanks.

No, the Gospels say nothing about a bright light coming from within the tomb. But since they do say that it was a tomb carved into stone, with a large stone blocking the opening, and sealed, I'm not sure why one would expect even a bright light to pass through the stone and alert the soldiers.
