Ok first off, where's your evidence on the "scientific materialists" and
what does that mean anymore?

 I'm sure they're aware of the fact there really is no such a thing as "an
independent existing entity".  Any scientist working with photons surely
knows that!  Even I know that, and those guys are way smarter and more
educated than me!

yes, but most human beings don't think much about "photons' either.  And
those who do understand that "independent existence of material objects"
rules don't apply at the quantum levels.
