The real question is, "What evidence is there for believing in non-physical entities?"
So far, the answer seems to be....none.
I'd have to say if there WERE evidence, then pretty much by definition, the thing would have to be partly physical. So if there were a God, and he somehow influences the Universe, then that part of God which allows for influence (i.e. the application of force, or the creation of material) would have to be said to be physical.
If there are other entities/realms that are parallel/overlaping our realm....4 of them would be more "physical"...more dense...not less.
