Why materialists are predominantly materialists

Reality is precisely what we experience through our senses, the same senses that can be verified by others when they experience the same thing within the vicinity.

After all, one person make an outrageous claim as another thousands of miles apart, but there is no way to verify that the experiences are connected.

Time matters as much as distance.

There is no veritable, nor historical, way for the bible to make itself known as fact.  The nonsensical themes non-withstanding, the logic is missing to the point of absolute disbelief.

We NEVER experience the same thing as other people.  No one experiences the red I experience.   (I'll put on my materialist hat now and say that, since everything I experience happens in MY material brain, and since everything they experience happens in THEIR material brains, we can't possibly, EVER experience the same thing.  I really wonder if materialists, on the whole, really understand their own "theory of the senses," carry it to its logical conclusion, and, most importantly, INCORPORATE IT INTO THEIR THINKING.)   No one ever experiences anything anyone else experiences.  I don't even know that the "space" in my experiences is something other "people" experience anything "in."
