What if science could support faith?
In this gripping episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy R. Powell interviews Bob Rucker, a veteran nuclear engineer who has spent over a decade applying advanced scientific methods to the most studied relic in Christianity: the Shroud of Turin.
Rucker presents a comprehensive radiation-based theory of image formation and carbon date discrepancy. By simulating the behavior of neutrons and protons in a tomb environment, he shows how the Resurrection itself could have generated the very evidence we now study.
He covers:
· The four evidences from the 1988 carbon dating that standard explanations cannot fully address
· Why protons and neutrons released in a burst of radiation could form the image and skew the dating
· His rebuttal to skeptics who claim faith doesn't need relics—and why we should care anyway
· The possible link to the Sudarium of Oviedo
· The deep theological implications of scientific evidence for Jesus’s Resurrection
Whether you’re a scientist, theologian, or simply curious, this episode offers a profound look into how God may be using the tools of science to strengthen faith.
