Same thing? If I hand you a loaf of bread and ask you to cut it in half, are you going to get out a tape measure?
That doesn't sound like an argument to me. Tell me the magical means by which we know quantity. Tell me how one can have any concept of quantity, or of anything for that matter, without using material analogues to establish it?
Souls didn't need to be metaphysical when humanity's understanding of the physical was as pitiful as it was until very recently, just as God didn't need to be a supernatural being.
