Chad, there's nothing to defend. We know nothing else, can find nothing else. We have no reason to suppose there is anything else. It's that simple. Materialism and materialists are under no obligation to explain to you whatever thing you find mysterious at any given point. If it interests you that much, go figure it out. There's a Nobel in it for you.
"You can't explain that - ergo spirits" and you're tossing out the title "intellectual lightweights?" Give me a fucking break. How's about this, would you like to explain how spirits give rise to consciousness? Good fucking luck( there'd be a Nobel in that too, btw). Put your magical realm into whatever cubby hole you wish, try not to be disappointed if it turns out that the cubbyhole was never there in the first place. Just as it it has in each and every case since the first breath of the word god was ever spoken.
(almost forgot..the immaterial, btw, is symbolism)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
