Quantum theory is dependent upon measurable forces that act with a known mechanism that is observable and replicable.

So much for your knowledge of Physics. And now you expect to be taken seriously on the subject of Biology?

And how can Science possibly "acknowledge the existence of the non-material". If it existed it would be "material" now wouldn't it? Then it would be observable and measurable.

"Quantum theory is dependent upon measurable forces that act with a known mechanism that is observable and replicable." Ever heard of Quantum indeterminacy? While mechanisms such as hidden variables have been proposed, most interpretations of quantum mechanics hold that the indeterminacy is real. Indeterminacy is the opposite of replicable. "And how can Science possibly "acknowledge the existence of the non-material". If it existed it would be "material" now wouldn't it?" No. Material refers to matter and motion. There are things beyond matter and motion. Your subjective consciousness would be an example.
