Has there ever been a viable alternative to the phsycialist model of the universe? - sh.itjust.works

Physicalism or materialism. The idea that everything there is arises from physical matter. If true would mean there is no God or Free Will, no immortal soul either. Seems to be what most of academia bases their world view on and the frame work in which most Science is done. Often challenged by Dualism and Idealism but only by a loud fringe minority. I’ve heard pan-psychicism is proving quite the challenge, but I hear that from people who believe crystals can cure autism I hear that “Oh actually the science is moving away from materialism” as well, but that seems to be more crystal talk as well. So lemme ask science instead of google. Any reason to doubt physicalism? Is there anything in science that says “Huh well that seems to not have any basis in the physical at all and yet it exists”
