Morning_star you're always talking about something you call "materialism"...mind explaining what that actually means? Because this materialist/non-materialist thing seems like an incoherent concept to me.
All materialism says is that reality is made out of some kind of substance, which seems pretty hard to argue against. You could have multiple dimensions, or psychic powers for that matter, and it would still have a material explanation. It would kind of have to actually, because something like psychic powers would need to interact with the brain and other aspects of physical reality.
Most scientists would not consider themselves materialist, they just want to measure something before declaring that it actually exists, which seems reasonable.
