This metaphysical principle states that the only things that exist are material. Most of you here practice this. However, the principle "only material things exist" cannot actually be tested under the scientific method. When tried, you're only using material senses (be it the tester or an artificial measure) and therefore can never account for anything immaterial.
I don't think anyone here believes that. Most of us here are progressive enough to believe in electricity, gravity and values whether they are material or not.
