Materialists hold the view that consciousness just came into existence by random chance and that us as humans are completely insignificant in a vast universe therefore nothing has any meaning, while also holding the view that nothing can possibly exist beyond what can be interpreted by the human senses.
So we are completely insignificant creatures who's consciousness occurred by random chance, yet this consciousness belonging to an insignificant creature in a vast universe is somehow able to process the limits of everything that could possibly exist through it's senses?
If something can't be seen, heard, felt (or "proven" via the scientific method) by this insignificant creature, it cannot exist according to their logic
