If you want to read through some of the arguments for and against.
That there are arguments for dualism isn’t the issue. There are arguments for a flat earth and many followers of that philosophy.
All arguments for dualism are equivalent to “God in the gaps”. That is because perfect understanding hasn’t been achieved, mysticism is possible.
The absurdity of the argument is that it can be applied to every mechanical observation. Take a simple lever. You push on one end and the other end moves. We can describe the forces mathematically. But when performing experiments, observations only approach the mathematics because of infinite external interferences to perfect measurement. This culminates in quantum uncertainty. The argument could be made that because we haven’t measured every atom in every state that we don’t actually understand the motion. The motion could be from some mystic source.
