First of all, all you did is PONTIFICATE that science is metaphysical, which is completely worthless psychobabble.
And I'm an EXISTENTIALIST, I don't have a metaphysical presupposition other than that the metaphysical is meaningless bullshit.
They are exact opposites. Metaphysics says Essence begets Existence, and Existentialism says Existence begets Essence.
Existentialist?
Perhaps. But firstly, above all else, you're a liar and an imbecile.
(1) I never said that science is metaphysical. I have emphatically and repeatedly stated that science deals with the empirical only. It's underlying presupposition is metaphysical. Those are not the same idea!
(2) Metaphysics does not say essence begets existence. SHUT UP! That is a tautological statement, essentially meaningless, unless you're alluding to Platonic Idealism, and if that's the case, and who's knows (LOL!), your rendition of it is illiterate gibberish.
Metaphysics is the field of study that attempts to established or define essence, it's not a metaphysical theory of essence. You're describing something that would fall within the field of metaphysics, not metaphysics itself.
And science must necessarily assume one metaphysical apriority or another in order to proceed, your existentialism notwithstanding! Fact.
Are the lights on yet? Did you find the switch?
I’m surrounded by a sea of idiots.
Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world. . . . —Wikipedia
