A scientific age doesn’t believe in souls. But here’s a mystery - how does a picture ‘capture’ an object or person? This tap and pipe is really just a flow of electrons through a screen you’re staring at. But it IS also that tap and pipe. The only possible explanation is that something about that tap and pipe - their ‘soul’ - can be literally captured and embodied in other things, in this case electrons and a screen. How else would it work? Electrons and screens have no resemblance to a tap and pipe.
