I think the Spirit and Body both ascending to the Father created a Xerox-like imprint on the shroud from the energy used, but I’m no scientist.

Well - that’s what the big bang was - a burst of energy. (And I posit that when God said “Let there be light” is when the big bang (or something similar to what we theorize) happened.)

And I think it is cool to think that God’s big bang can create everything, including life, and a mini-bang can resurrect the dead. Using the same principles - just on a different scale.

"Spirit and Body both ascending to the Father created a Xerox-like imprint"

That wouldn't work well with John 20:16,17

Except there was no "Ascension to the Father" at that moment in time.

Anomalies in the Shroud -- and by this I mean evidence that doesn't seem to reflect known principles of physical science -- are easily explained: The Shroud is showing signs of something that has never happened before (or since) in human history ... the resurrection of a human being from the dead.

Were so familiar with the Biblical passages about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that it's easy to overlook the physical realities involved. The body of Jesus Christ clearly went through some kind of physical changes that altered its state to one that does not exist among normal human beings in the physical world as we know it.
