Materialism is believing that only thing that can be proven exists in the form of matter. Hence, the only thing that satisfies a materialist could be in matter. And no spirituality and morality exist in their view. Materials are taking over our world. Even we need a material to communicate with people and connect with them. The world is taking a new shape, a more materialistic shape.
