>physicist do dismiss it

No, they gave it a name. That is the exact opposite of dismissing it.

>because they explain it away

No they don't. They try to come up with hypotheses. That's what scientists do.

>because it brings consciousness and God back into discussion of the physical universe

No it does not. There are so many factors outside of the experiment that needs to be accounted for before God can even be part of the conversation.

Like why God and not Allah or the Giant Spaghetti monster.

>and materialism demands that all matter is dead

I don't know what you mean by this. But no where in science does it assert that all matter is dead.

>all lifeforms are just dead

Define "dead". I am a life form. I am alive.

So you're just speaking fluff that you know no one can verify. Gotcha.

>it should have been something like PSYCHOKINESIS, which might begin to convey the earth shattering nature of the discovery that consciousness directly affects matter/energy/time/space

That's like your personal opinion bro.

>giving it a vacuous name IS explaining it away, rather than offering any hypothesis, WHICH NONE HAS BEEN PUT FORWARD

>WHICH NONE HAS BEEN PUT FORWARD

Completely false. Just because you don't like their explanations doesn't allow you to just dismiss it. It goes both ways my dude.

>and up until that discovery only God was capable of affecting matter by just looking at it, so God is removed from the discussion…

What? Seriously? Prove to me anything that God is capable of, including existing.

What you just did there is the exact definition of "explaining things away"

>because in actual practice, all animals, plants, etc. are treated as if the are electrochemical mechanisms

There you go again, asserting what other people believe. I told you this was wrong.

>from a materialist standpoint

Define "materialist". You keep using that word, but I have no idea who it should refer to. And hence why it should be relevant to our discussion of the scientific method?

>What do you think happened to the souls of the billions of humans before us, since the beginning of the Earth?

The evil lord Xenu has trapped them in his earth prism and keep recycling souls into husk beings attached with parasitic Thetans.
