give me an example of something you believe is "real" but doesn't fit into a test tube?

Yes, i would try a little material realism for a change
en.wikipedia.org

Over nominalism, Idealism i would opt for "Moderate Realism" which holds that these mental concepts exist, but only insofar as they are instantiated in specific things, they do not exist separately from the specific thing.

You believe in some God the Spirit, whereas i believe in --> Mothers on Earth, one is imaginary, the other a universal and very very real, material truth. If there's any God on earth, its always going to start there no matter what your psalms say, they are blatantly wrong.
