Um no.

Sound and colour are the result of our very physical brains processing input from our senses having detecting physical things photons, movements in the air etc. they are in no way immaterial.

The only immaterial things I can think of that exist are concepts like truth, justice and so on.

I'n fact that is what I think god is, a convenient place holder for abstract concepts. how often have you heard the phrase "god is love"? for instance.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
