gosh, I missed my chance to speak with "the Creator"...too bad, I had some questions. (though, as Wolfgang AND Amos note, I probably wouldn't have gotten very satisfactory answers.)


but, I see I was right about one thing...

I said: "Unfortunately, I see many arguments that assert that 'not being empirically testable' is no problem, as the very point is that their claims do not fall under standard scientific purview."

and Amos said: "...so too you would have to be sure to make a test of non-material awareness, or life force, or whatever you call it, not rely on material variables which aren't germane."

This sort of issue is never resolved, it is merely pushed upward to Meta-discussion in which issues like the basis of reality, how we can know anything, and linguistic questions about expressing concepts become the topic. Then, once again, it becomes just a question of what you are most comfortable with.
