The greatest failure of materialism is that it simply cannot explain the existence of information.
'''Materialism''' is an ontological position which holds that there is no immaterial or spiritual realm, only that which is detectable in some form by the senses- for instance [[matter]], [[light]], and so forth. It assumed by the position of [[empiricism]], and therefore [[science]], and is contrasted with [[substance dualism]] and [[immaterialism]]. Arguments for materialism commonly employ [[ontological principles]] such as [[Occam's Razor]]- as an immaterial realm is wholly superfluous to materialists' understanding of the world, they have no reason to believe it exists.
