To anyone who will actually take the time to read what I have written, such will be clear. For instance, I never referred to photons as being a form of "matter".
I think you've linked to the wrong article.
I have used the term materialistic to mean that, "the physical world is the only thing that exists and that nothing supernatural exists." I have never used that word in any other context in this thread at least. In this respect, Science and the scientific method is inherently materialistic, at least until clear and convincing evidence (say, the spontaneous healing of an adult amputee) would emerge to shatter that paradigm.
