I don't think 'materialists' are scared, that's just silly.
No, it's not. The domiant materialist view is that EVERYTHING is physical. Why? Because "science" and the "scientific method" is and was a reaction against the nonsense of the religious views about reality, which was dominated by God, angels, magic and miracles, heaven and hell. The scientific world view does not admit that such things can exist. In that view, it is impossibe. If you try to suggest that Reality is somewhat different, just look at the result.
Your post is a perfect example.
Your "soul" is the program. The TV set is the "brain." Materilists look in the back of the TV set and can't find the program, so their conclusion is that the program is an emergent property of the TV set.
That's just silly.
Everything hurts and I'm tired.
