Everything we do everyday attests to our confidence that tangible objects impact like objects and that, as tangibility approaches zero, impact approaches zero.
Look, I can't prove anything 100%. I can't even prove that you exist. All I can do is remind you that a reasonable person will favor the conclusions most plausible in light of the data. For example, let's suppose you're a manager at a grocery store. The boss asks you why $300 cash is missing from the register. He proposes that one of your cashiers used his tangible hands to steal the tangible money. You reply:
"No. I have a much more reasonable theory. No physical agents were involved. There was no tangible interaction with the cash. Instead, an intangible mind used immaterial telekinesis to summon the cash into his pockets. "
He'd think you were crazy. Similarly, if one of the cashiers gave you that explanation, you'd dismiss that theory immediately. The only reason that Christians have entertained such ludicrous thinking is their historic love affair with Plato, compounded by centuries of indoctrination.
I don't think it's this simple. Missing money is not comparable to the nature of free will and the origin thought which are very different types of things. As you would call it, category mistake.
