With the current climate around the skeptiko forums really heating up at the moment, I thought it would be interesting to ask how it is that those who feel materialism adequately explains all phenomena, have come to that conclusion.
In light of the topics raised on skeptiko, and the very sound research presented, surely we all must admit (some of us gladly, some unhappily), that materialism is started to sprout leaks. It is a sinking ship. In most areas of research, often scathingly reffered to as 'fringe' science, but one could also refer to them as 'frontier' science, or 'cutting edge' science, materialism is beggining to show itself for the failed proposition that I at least think it is.
In fact, quantum science has seriously alluded to this for almost a century, but for some reason, we have been able to sweep this dirty little secret under the carpet for too long.
I am left wondering how those who hold that materialism is an absolutely confirmed and unassailable position, can hold this opinion in light of the startling discoveries being made all the time. What would it take to falsify the materialist paradigm? And hasn't what it would take, already been found?
