Now there's a thing Boru. Can one capture the image of the divine according to the followers of that particular belief?
Well, the thread seems to be about Abrahamic beliefs. Since those people tend to go on and on about the immaterial nature of God, I'd say 'no'.
But even if we didn't have photographs of Lincoln, his historicity wouldn't be in doubt. When it comes to religious figures, the same standard applies. There are (obviously) no photos of Mohammed or Martin Luther, but no one seriously questions whether these were real people.
