I found this video today. There have been a huge number of features regarding the shroud of Turin. This one is extraordinary, in my humble lay opinion, because it incorporates the scientific method of extrapolating data from the shroud for analysis, and then incorporates a graphic three dimensional extraction of the figure depicted in the shroud. And wait till you hear how that figure was discovered to be imprinted onto the material.

Further, with regard to the skeptics that have said for years that this was a forgery created by someone who used stencils and inks, is soundly refuted in this documentary.

In my opinion this is a masterpiece. A 14 foot long 3 foot wide piece of flax cloth that may very well carry the image of our Lord from the past into the future.

If we believe God inspired mere mortals to receive his word so as to have it ultimately compiled and published in a book, how is it impossible Jesus would have delivered evidence of his spirit encased in flesh, the spirit of God, onto a flax shroud?

I think anyone who may doubt Jesus was real will change their mind if they watch this entire video.

As long as Christians see it as a curiosity piece and not an object of their faith...because just as easily as one day it can proven to be so...the next week it can disproven as well.

I find this part of the article fascinating. It goes along with the video in the OP as far as evidence of a radiant presence imbuing the shroud with the body shape of Christ:
Gary Habermas, distinguished research professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy and Theology at Liberty University, led a presentation in 2013 at the Southern Evangelical Seminary's 20th annual Christian Apologetics Conference and discussed enhanced images of the shroud which showed that the person's teeth were showing through the skin.
"His skin is intact, his beard is intact, but you are able to see what's inside coming out, just like if you are able to see what's on the back of a hand," Habermas said during the presentation, while showing a photo of an exposed human skull juxtapositioned next to the head of the man in the shroud, with the teeth from the two images aligned.
"This is one of the best indications that the man in the Shroud, who was dead and was crucified, [has] radiation coming out," he said of the teeth discovery. "And if that's what this is, you've got something from the inside [coming out].
"[The teeth] are on the inside, but on the photo they are showing outside. Whichever way [the radiation] is coming, it dragged the image from the inside to the outside."
