I don't believe in the possibility of humans not having souls. The way I see it consciousness itself proves the otherwordly. Human consciousness is something completely off the table for us humans, we can't recreate it, we can't even understand it. In a camera of a machine the information isn't seen. Machines cannot behold what they "see". The rays of light are merely stored in a bit array and later go trough algorithms to be converted into a pixel array, but it isn't a picture the computer sees. The computer is just a machine and the machine can only calculate, it cannot behold as we humans can. There's a beholder behind our eyes, we aren't just algorithms and anyone can be a witness to this. A computer isn't consciousness yet we are, what's the difference? It's the soul. Consciousness itself proves the existence of a soul and kills materialistic understanding of the universe and life.
