Not a misquote since someone else spoke it but... generally a quote is suppose to direct you to look it up and finish reading more of the same...can't expect to know all about everything from a quote or two.. but anyway it just reiterates the point he is making about materialism.

It's not 'in favor of' or 'against' statement, he is speaking about two different disciplines/schools of thought which contrast each other. Materialism is incapable of including anything beyond matter is all he's saying. Which. if you had read the thread above and elswhere here, is what we have been discussing.

There is no room for miracles in materialsim. But that does not mean miracles do not happen and neither of the above mentioned claim that.

Ask your doctor if he has ever experienced a patient that seemed to get cured miraculously for instance, most doctors who have been around a while have.

Unfortunately, it's beyond the scope of materialistic science. Meaning, science is not to be seen as answer for everything. You can rely on it totally if you'd like, but it will kill you in the process because science cannot even explain why your heart beats. And neither can abiogenesis btw.

I think you missed the point of the discussion, k.
