Metaphysics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Before the development of modern science, scientific questions were addressed as a part of metaphysics known as "natural philosophy"; the term "science" itself meant "knowledge". The scientific method, however, made natural philosophy an empirical and experimental activity unlike the rest of philosophy, and by the end of the eighteenth century it had begun to be called "science" in order to distinguish it from philosophy."
Gosh, you never quit do you.
The universe, is a thread, everything we know, is connected.
The human mind is part of the universe, wether you consider we have some sort of magical soul or just a physical brain.
Therefore philosophy only applies to human life, not to the understanding of the mechanics of the universe.
The metaphysical by its name is misleading. If the metaphysical uses relative tools to analyse a system which its a part of, it's NOT metaphysical, it's just philosophical.
About the question of a metaphysical god, once again, the creation of a thing, take a universe, can be considered as beyond the thing if the creator doesn't interfere with the universe it created.
In the case of ID, the god in question obviously didn't just create the universe but intervened.
Again and again and again, you don't understand things as a inter related structure but as discrete elements. Not a particulary striking example of ... (fill the blank using some non abrasive words)
This is really becoming extremely boring.

I'm not insulted, I am amused. To a large degree, I've been trying to make complex points by using simple analogies. I've also been a little sloppy in the way I framed my points. You have misinterpreted that as a weak understanding of "science, logics, and mathematics."
And I'm getting more and more bored. Complexity is about constructing complex things, which you never did, you just take discrete elements and show us how they never fit in a system.
ps: yeah, the cosmology thing, give it to me.
