They were already rationalists and empiricists....or we can charitably grant that they were attempting those practices...but they also happened to be spiritualists. To the overall discussion, it shows the pointlessness of arguing over whether or not materialism is true or is well evidenced. In any christian assertion it is false in principle. Thus an example of technological possibility is not informative with respect to the capabilities or limitations..if there are any, of spiritual possibility.
Again with the appeal to ignorance. Christianity may be the context here, but if your argument only holds relative to this specific context and not more generally, then it's not a good argument. And no, reasonable people don't disagree that invalid arguments are bad arguments. Reasonable people generally agree on that when they understand it to be the question.
