Formal unities and manifest functions seem detectable. Materialism/physicalism take these aspects of reality for granted or dismiss them altogether. Not surprisingly some materialists aren't even capable of seeing these omissions.
Oh the effort they make in describing the things they say are undetectable. No one said you weren't trying. But dressing it up in big words helps as much as lipstick helps that ugly pig we're always hearing about.
