Are we diving headfirst into "you can't explain x, checkmate" territory? Does it matter that you've had a photons relationship to matter explained to you many times? You tell me, does a photon have material properties? Are photons interacting with you right now, as you stare at the screen? Are we describing a physical relationship?
Honestly, Bennyboy. Why even talk about photons if you're looking for a way to criticize materialism? Photons are a material explanation of material phenomena from a necessarily materialistic framework. They -can- refer to nothing else. You'll need some other example. What you're asking, and you know it, is whether or not a photon is a billiards ball. No one thinks they are, certainly not materialists. That's what -you- need materialism to be to grind your little axe. How many times and how many ways does this have to be said? This is nothing more than "materialism is wrong because light exists." Pointless.
