Again . . by definition:"The demand to justify a non-materialistic view with materialistic facts and evidence is indeed a strict materialist view."
It is totally irrelevant what my world view is. It only matters what the context of my questions are. What exactly is wrong with asking for material evidence to support a non-material belief/assertion within a material world/reality? Absolutely nothing. When material evidence, logic, and observations become irrelevant, then all claims, material or non-material, become equal in their certainties. Maybe that is your goal, to make evidence irrelevant? If I claimed to own a red, white and blue invisible dragon, then I need to support that claim with direct or indirect material evidence. If I claim that I can fly, then I need materialistic/physical evidence to support that claim. If I claim that there is an upgraded version of a messenger demi-god, that commutes back and forth with a God, to deliver His message to humans, I would need to demonstrate this if I want others to also belief it. Why? Because invisible dragons, flying humans, and messenger/gods all suspend or violate the natural laws of physics. Unless you can demonstrate even one example of a violation or suspension of our physical laws, then these events just cannot occur. Once we go down this slippery slope looking for alternative, non-material or metaphysical answers, then anything that can exist in the mind can also exist in reality. This opens the door for justifying insanity.
So, should we simply accept anything people say just because they say it? Should we simply accept the certainty of all non-material claims, even though there is no material evidence to support it? Should we not expect extraordinary evidence to support extraordinary claims? Should those believing in the "flying spaghetti monster" simply say that their beliefs are valid, because your worldview is a "strict materialistic view". Until you can demonstrate that a non-material world/reality exists, my actions and limitations will always be governed by the physical laws of this material/physical world.
Regarding the "independent investigation of knowledge and truth", is merely a toothless slogan.
https://bahaiteachings.org/independently-investigate-truth , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_Faith This investigation is all done in-house. Only approved belief-specific text materials are allowed. You are guided by the simplest form of persuasion and positive feedback mechanisms. Ego and Machoism. Alternative, liberal, or independent truths, are discourage and penalized. Individualism, freedom, and innocents are the first human qualities to fall. If you want people to listen to you, just tell them what they want to hear. But if you want people to follow you, just make them believe that it was their decision. Works every time. This is why the Baha'i is more a cult than a religion. But this is just my opinion and my reasons why.
So, rather than rote parrot the same irrational sound bites, why should we not expect a materialistic explanation about anything that occurs within our material reality? Never mind I don't expect an answer, just more glib, bluff, and more straw man to keep knocking down. Clearly, you have been reduced to having nothing more to contribute, other than simply going the distance out of pride.
