Does the Shroud Prove the Resurrection?

Today I had the privilege of interviewing Bob Rucker, a nuclear engineer whose research on the Shroud of Turin has convinced him beyond doubt that we possess scientific evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus. This fascinating conversation began with his childhood curiosity sparked by a tiny newspaper photo and evolved into 12 years of intensive research using his expertise in nuclear analysis and statistical data.

What captivated me most was his explanation of how the image was formed. The 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project conclusively proved it’s not a painting, stain, or scorch from heat. Instead, the evidence points to a burst of radiation that discolored only the top 2–3 layers of fibers—and incredibly, only around the outer circumference of each fiber. His breakthrough came from remembering the “skin effect” of alternating current from physics class, leading him to conclude that oscillating electrical energy formed both front and back images simultaneously.

But here’s what absolutely amazed me: he believes Jesus’ body made a transition to “alternate dimensionality”—what we might call Heaven—supported by modern string theory. This explains how Jesus could appear and disappear at will in His resurrected body. The controversial 1988 carbon dating that suggested medieval origins is explained by neutron emission during the Resurrection event, which would shift carbon-14 levels exactly as observed. For the first time in history, Christianity has potential scientific evidence alongside the Bible’s eyewitness testimonies.

Three Critical Needs, One Urgent Response

This month, three urgent needs have captured our hearts, and God is calling us to respond with unprecedented generosity. Rather than supporting one organization this month, we’re partnering with three vital organizations that are addressing some of the most pressing needs across Israel. The Israel Air Force Association, Soroka Medical Center, and Brothers in Arms (Hamal).

With your gift of any amount—perhaps $18, $36, $180 or $1800 to honor the Hebrew tradition of “chai” (life)—you’ll receive a complete digital version of Jimmy Evans’ book, Talking to Kids About the End Times: A Brief Guide to an Eternal Conversation.
