Materialism defies both experience and [[logic]].  Experience provides numerous [[counterexamples]] that disprove materialism, such as [[migration]], [[homing]], [[action-at-a-distance]] and [[non-locality]], plus extraordinary good and evil events that lack statistically plausible explanations.  Materialism is also contrary to logic, as there no logical reason to expect human senses to be able to fully recognize all of reality.
