For e.g. he or she sees (while unconscious) Doctors operating on him with an actual instrument they used which he did not know about, but which he later tells them, and is found to be objectively accurate. Sometimes, blind people see the physical world with color and light. Again, it has happened that people have seen God and Heaven, and even younger siblings who died before they were born who they did not even know they had, until they met them in the After-Life, then confirmed with their shocked and surprised Parents actually and objectively existed. Don't these provide, at least, Strong Evidence against the Materialistic/Physicalist views that there is nothing in the universe and the human being other than mere matter? They sound precisely like what Classical Theism has always referred to as the Soul:
