Merriam-Webster -- Metaphysics
Quote:Did you know?
Just as physics deals with the laws that govern the physical world (such as those of gravity or the properties of waves), metaphysics describes what is beyond physics—the nature and origin of reality itself, the immortal soul, and the existence of a supreme being. Opinions about these metaphysical topics vary widely, since what's being discussed can't be observed or measured or even truly known to exist. So most metaphysical questions are still as far from a final answer as they were when Plato and Aristotle were asking them.
That's nice. That still doesn't help you. Try actually supporting your idea instead of arguing based upon etymological nonsense. Even if metaphysics were "beyond physics" -- whatever that means -- it doesn't show that doing one is a prerequisite to doing the other.
