Teacher Claims Shroud of Turin Is Fake

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Nathan Wilson is an English teacher with no scientific training, but he thinks he knows how the piece of linen revered by many as Jesus' burial cloth was made. And he thinks it's not a physical sign of the Resurrection.

In other words, in Wilson's estimation, the Shroud of Turin is a fake — produced with some glass, paint and old cloth. And that theory, especially with Easter this weekend, has so-called "Shroudies" abuzz.

"A lot of religious people are upset," said Wilson, 26, who teaches at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho.

Wilson is himself an evangelical Christian but said his views on the shroud don't change his faith.

"I'm a Bible-believing Christian who believes in the Resurrection completely without a doubt," he said.

The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth, about 14 feet long and 3 feet wide, that has been kept in the city of Turin, Italy, since 1578. It bears the image of a man with wounds similar to those suffered by Jesus. Believers say it was used to wrap Christ after he was taken off the cross.

The English instructor believes a medieval forger could have painted the image of a crucified man on a pane of glass, laid it on the linen, then left it outside in the sun to bleach the cloth for several days. As the linen lightened, the painted image of the man remained dark on the cloth, creating the equivalent of a photo negative.

Wilson wrote his theory in Books and Culture, a magazine for Christian intellectuals. It was picked up by several Web sites and is being debated in shroud circles. Wilson's Web site received more than 100,000 hits from 45 countries in the first week of his article's publication.

Shroud expert Dan Porter said that while Wilson's theory is ingenious, it does not produce images identical to those on the shroud.

"It is not adequate to produce something that looks like the shroud in two or three ways," said Porter, who lives in Bronxville, N.Y. "One must produce an image that meets all of the criteria."

Porter contends sun bleaching cannot have produced the image, which he and many others say is the result of chemical reactions on the cloth.

"A problem with Wilson's hypothesis is that sun bleaching merely accelerates bleaching that will occur naturally as the material is exposed to light," Porter wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Eventually, Wilson's sun bleach shroud image will fade into the background as exposure equalizes the bleaching."

The shroud has often been displayed, sometimes in bright sunlight for days at a time, and no such image fading has occurred, Porter said.

Porter and others also question whether panes of glass at least 6 feet long were produced in medieval times, as Wilson's theory would require.

Radiocarbon tests of the Shroud of Turin were done in 1988, and dated the cloth at A.D. 1260 to 1390 — seeming ruling it out as Jesus' burial cloth. But Raymond Rogers of Los Alamos National Laboratory recently argued that the tested threads came from later patches and might have been contaminated. Rogers calculated that the shroud is 1,300 to 3,000 years old and could easily date from Jesus' era.

Wilson said he wants to write a novel about his theory. The forger or perhaps forgers, Wilson theorizes, probably robbed a grave and pulled the aged shroud off a body, then crucified someone to obtain the blood and study the wounds of Jesus.

Steven Wilde

just incase any of you missed it

But we would like all contributors to buy a copy of the disc when it is ready.(and if you want to send some cash to keep t2j.com alive it is very welcome). + Your song must not be posted online anywhere ie: website, soundclick etc. for one year(it is ok for you to have it on a cd just not for free download)! after that it's fair game once again. + By submitting your song , you are agreeing to allow t2j.com records to use and have the right to distribute your song. + All submissions will be judged by a panel of judges. + Vocal songs will also be accepted this time. + Submissions deadline is March 28 05. The deadline will not be extended for anyone, as we are trying for an August release. + The email addy to submit songs is talk2joecd@hotmail.com

STEVEN- Great news about getting tickets to a Joe concert! I've never seen him play live either, am hoping to next time he tours England although who knows when it'll be! Thanks for your e-mail, still no news with the piano exam result yet unfortunately... Take care and speak to you soon- any more updates on your trip over to England?

SteveeT- (I think) you asked me what cabinet we got with the JSX Head, no we didn't get a Peavey one, but a Marshall 1960A Angled 350w one. I hope it was you who asked me, if not, ignore this message! Sorry about the delay in reply, I'm on a go-slow at the moment.

Cheese101/ Do The Stu - Loved your questions on the competition, you got my top votes!!

Suzie2000...it was not me who asked, but I've got the same cab!! lol Peace & a slo-glow...lolol

I remember just around this time last year Satch's Is there Love in Space CD was just coming out, my mom preordered me the CD from like sony.com or something for an easter gift, got the cd and an extra CD booklet that was signed by Joe. Joe's obviously been doing more touring than usual, haven't even heard a thing about a new CD in the works yet.

-Probably will be my last post for a while, c-ya Satchland!!!

Stevee T, actually my ex and I get along okay, I've always tried to put Chris's best interests ahead of any personal feelings my ex and I may have, and we are able to talk to each other pretty freely. In some respects, it helped a lot in the beginning that he wasn't in the same town, but now I wish he was so Chris could see more of him, etc.

Estrela, hi back you sweet lady! You are very dear, and yes, in a couple of days Chris will be home and I can get that hug in person!

Steven, I'm going to try sending e-mail through my work e-mail to see if that can get to you....I'll do it on my lunch today, let me know if you get it!! And if you do get to see Joe and tell him hi from us, please also tell him we'll be at 4 of his concerts in April...YEAH!!

Suzie2000, thanks very much for the kind words to Austin and myself for our webcast entries....that's so nice to hear!!

To Anyone Interested!

John Petrucci's Solo CD is in my player & being givin the once over as I write this email.

He gives thanks to Joe Satriani & Steve Vai in the liner notes.

1st song heavy.

Most songs are of 7 minutes long, or more.

2nd song...I forget

3rd song best so far IMHO

4th song kinda of a Vai love ballad thing

5th song heavy

6th song kinda upbeat Satch-ish----finally...a melody I can almost remember....kinda Flyin' in A Blue Dreamish... especially at the very end..

7th song...finally some slow soulful expression..alittle jazzy..gets heavier in the middle

8th song...11 minutes long...same stuff.

1. Overall Rating - Technically 8-10

2. Tone...a little tOO round for me---closed wah wah...

3. Composition - 5-6 at best

4. Melodies - nearly non-existant...at least not memorable

Clarky's effort should squash John's efforts like a bug on a Cylon's metal head...no disrespect to JP...I expected so much!!

Satch Kicks Petrucci's ass in so many ways!!!!!!

You can now return to your regularly programmed channel.

hey folks, I just uploaded some more guitar photos - my (dad's) silver-series Squier Strat, and my newly customised Ibanez GIO. Originally a GSA60, I'm now calling it a GSA600! I changed the tuners, bridge, nut, pickups and half the electronics so it's pretty unique now! Go here, to my "Guitars, Concerts" album if you're at all interested....they're on page 3 of photos!

Working huh? Where are you working dude? Hope you're doing something cool! I hope your ACM time has got you something good too....

I get the impression that South American culture is generally very much the same. There seems to be a great deal of passion and tradition under the surface of Spanish culture, and it makes for a vibrant atmosphere, especially with such a rich mix of things that are very modern and new-age, and things that are very traditional and quite old.

From what little I have seen, I get the feeling Brazil is much the same, with the same kind of energy, but generally poorer. I'd love to visit Brazil, and many other parts of South America. For some reason I'm fascinated by Panama, I really want to go there! Thanks for putting up with my continual questions! hehe
