To create even a more of a wow-factor, the forger would have to have the Shroud produced in a true 3-D image, unlike anything ever obtained from ordinary photographs or paintings when subjected the Shroud images to a new state-of-the-art VP-8 Image Analyzer in which the Shroud produced a true 3-D image, unlike anything ever obtained from ordinary photographs or paintings.
And since no one today can explain how the image became on the Shroud, the forger would also have to know some serious undiscovered science, which we do not know yet—in which we do not even know if we will ever discover—since no one can explain how it was made.
The forger would also have to know how to create a miracle since the only conclusion is that the Shroud is the result of radiation from the body at a mysterious resurrection.
So, could the forger be that brilliant, even perhaps the devil himself?
