It's a Fake

Well, it sure took long enough and it turns out it was so easy to do.  The Shroud of Turin is a fake.

We already knew that it was created in the middle ages from carbon dating. 

Now an Italian scientist has created another shroud with all the supposedly unexplainable properties of the original.  All he did was use paint, bake it, and then wash the paint off.  Easy as pie.  

Why did that take so long to do?  I have no idea.  But it's now settled.

Besides, I thought the whole point of religion is that you're supposed to believe without proof.  I think this scientist has done believers a favor by making the lack of proof even more complete.  No more hanging on to this one as some kind of proof!

Here are some images of the reproduction.  Can you tell which is which?
