It is our education as children (in which we learned in early childhood to think in a simplistic materialism) that we learn to believe that "science describes the material world." That is, we learn to believe "this experience" is a material world, and learn to think in language that fits hand in glove with it, then we learn scientific ideas and believe they "describe the material world." It is this society-wide materialist worldview foundation that has so much intellectual inertia. Various types of materialists can argue all day long between their ivory towers, but below them lies a public who believe, implicitly, unthinkingly, and almost universally that they are "human beings," that they are "made of atoms," ad that they "think with their brains."
And which of those is inaccurate?
