the materialist position is supported by ever increasing MOUNTAINS of evidence,

Give me the evidence. I think you are making mountains out of sand castles

then the reasonable default position is that the TV set has a built-in DVD player. Any other non-falsifiable hypotheses are unnecessary.

Since there is no 'default position' outside mindsets, hypotheses are necessary. If information (e.g. like telepathy, remote viewing, etc.) is shared with another TV set (mind-brain interaction) , it suggests something invisible is occurring outside the TV set.

As for claiming 'non-falsifiable', I would abandon the dualist argument *if* a few on the list I supplied was falsified. My position is falsifiable but is yours? You are seem to be arguing anything, by default, must be assumed to be only physical therefore anything non-physical must be assumed false by default ...therefore anything non-physical causing physical effects is judged false until some physical cause is found .... this is a non-falsifiable physicalists stance. Tell me what would falsify physicalism for you?

Right. And until every last transitional fossil is found, and every mechanism of evolution explained, the creationists are more likely to be correct. Come on.

Strawman. I am not religious, not a creationist.
