show me anything beyond the material.
otherwise, it's not the assumption. supernatural is.
First; showing things "beyond the material" has been done numerous times on this forum alone and among countless thinkers going back for centuries (Plato's
allegory of the cave, Descartes
evil genius hypothetical, etc, etc).
It is more then a little presumptuous to dismiss all that.
Ideas are immaterial.
The mind is immaterial (
the mind is different from the brain).
Personality is immaterial.
Rights are immaterial.
ALL this things have been pointed out countless times on this forum and you
keep ignoring them.
Second; your standard of judgement is, as usual, one sided. We all know you will never accept
logical proof, only empirical (hence the demand to be "shown" something). So your statement is circular and meaningless. Whether or not anything can be "shown" beyond the physical is irrelevant. That does not prove materialism in any way.
Also, your continued misrepresentation of materialism vs supernatural shows a profound misunderstanding of what materialism is. How can you defend an idea that you don't understand? Inversely, how can you reject a critique that you don't understand? That sure seems like a dogmatic reaction to "heresy" against your faith...
never said it had to be empirical.
No, you just imply it in
every statement you make.
