materialism is blind faith

>>13445148
please don't imply that materialism can only be refuted by theism, regardless of how valid and strong the theological arguments are: that just fuels the nihilist's "heh I don't need to believe in a skydaddy heh" shit.
Even basic epistemology is enough to dunk on materialism

How is materialism the default? You have no idea if what you perceive is even a remotely accurate representation of any 'objective reality' apart from your perception, let alone any means of understanding the fundamental substance of existence.

>why wouldn't there be animals with consciousness?
For a second time, I think animals have consciousness, bugs and insects as well.
You are only aware of your physical brain as a result of your consciousness. You are trusting that your senses are giving you a true representation of an objective reality.
