Ah, you don't understand that materialism is a closed, monist system that declares that everything that is is material. It is a closed system, there is no room for anything else. If you can't account for something in terms of matter-energy, in the current expression of it, it is declared to not be possible.
I am not a materialist monist, I have no problem with a plural reality and I wouldn't be stupid enough to make such a declaration about the ultimate and limited character of reality. One of the numbest things about materialism is that since materialists declare the limits of reality, those have to fit inside human understanding. If materialism is not limited in that way, it ceases to have any meaning, at all and they may as well not have bothered to express it.
