Really? If materialism is simply the philosophy of not assuming existence of something until there's evidence for it, then it's not a hypothesis that could be refuted, even in principle. After all, if somebody comes up with evidence for something previously thought not to exist, then "materialism" by that definition would not produce an objection.
(OTOH, it's possible I don't know what "materialism" means?)
