Well said! My way of expressing it is that the dominance of materialism in
science is a matter of faith and needs to be changed to a faith in values
as the underpinning for explaining observational phenomena. Quantum
particles appear and disappear seemingly at random because they value that
sort of behavior for reasons of their own.
