Shrouded in Mystery

by Alex Steelsmith

“[D]ental surgeon Dr. John Sottosanti presents striking evidence that the lower teeth of the man
on the Shroud of Turin may, in fact, be visible… Sottosanti argues [this] could only appear if the image
were seared onto the cloth by a burst of radiant energy at the moment of Christ’s Resurrection.”
Zenit

Readily, steadily,
skeptics and scientists
scoff at the argument,
yet underneath

all of their claims that it’s
unverifiable
have to acknowledge it
might have some teeth.
