For these and many other reasons, materialism is a dead philosophy. Paul Davies and John Gribbon point out that “Quantum physics undermines materialism because it reveals that matter has far less ‘substance’ than we might believe. They go on to assert: “Many people have rejected scientific values because they regard materialism as a sterile and bleak philosophy, which reduces human beings to automatons and leaves no room for free will and creativity. These people can take heart: materialism is dead.”
