Why are you speaking as though I told you that all scientists are materialists, or even have to be? I never said that science insists on a material monism. OFC they're not the same thing. I never said they were, and never said that any scientist had to make a positive assertion about the nature of reality (though, in truth, every assertion they make -as scientists- is a positive assertion about the nature of reality).
Who can you possibly be talking to? What are you talking about?
The only tidbit, it that entire response, that's remotely applicable, is that yes....every bit of science is a demonstration of a material monism, but -only- if you think science works, and can be trusted. Until such a time as science discovers some immaterial thing (gl working out how that's gonna happen)...that's just the way it is. / shrugs
