Another subset proposes that non-material assumptions are not to be made. Yet another proposes that we can ascribe no confidence to "immaterial" explanations by means of material tools designed to collect material data. Put another way, would a mass spectrometer pick up ghosts? Would our eyes?
If it did, Ghosts would simply become part of an extended version of physics, the same way radio waves were incorporated into our understanding in 1886 or so. I don't understand where "immaterial" would come into play.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
