>>10907719>Materialists are closing the case on phenomenae they cannot yet understand within their framework.I disagree, If materialists cannot explain phenomena, they will want to figure out the physical workings, for example why does water freeze?
As materialist you would have to try to find physical explanations and test them, the case would be closed for nonmaterialists since the answer is already there, it’s what ideal water does, we just don’t understand it, duh.
>Some would say some of these phenomenae emerge from the physical. In that case showing the existence of both the distinction and the interaction is trivial.Indeed, but at least possible in principle, and it has been shown time and time again that phenomena have physical origins and as a result humanity has learned to manipulate the underlying mechanisms.
