The two aren't mutually exclusive. If something exists, it's part of material reality, whether or not we've detected or explained it.

- puredemo 17y agoTrue. The gist of the question is whether you personally believe anything about the nature of reality that isn't flatly deductible by science.
- radu_floricica 17y agoGiven how little we know about reality it's not practical to answer the question right now. Let's just say there's a lot we don't know and leave it at that. No use to speculate as to what science cannot solve. What I am though is a rationalist - i.e. I believe we use our minds a lot less efficiently then we could. We're starting this century to learn a lot about how the brain really works, and how reality really works - not at the basic levels but as very complex systems. And with this we slowly get pieces of how to be better humans. Ironically enough some of what we found is that religion/spirituality is a pretty good thing.
