Self-describing theories


You are separating reality into "metaphysical" and "physical". I do not see a need for that, and in fact I suspect that this is a deliberate attempt to create a false dichotomy, on the basis of which you can then proceed to "prove" the existence of your God. There is a good reason why I am wording this so strongly, and that is that you seem to be fully aware of the problematic nature of introducing this dichotomy. In your second video you are saying this yourself:

"MULTIPLICITY DENOTES INTER-DEPENDENCE"

If you split reality into "physics" and "meta-physics" you are creating the sort of multiplicity that you are so keen to reject yourself later on when that suits your argument. That makes it very suspect.

Anyway

If you look at what science is currently working on, you will see that it is trying its best to create a "universal" theory, a theory that, in principle, can explain all the mechanisms we observe in the universe in reality.

But all the theories that are currently under construction are of a mathematical nature. They attempt not only to DESCRIBE physical reality, but they provide a way for reality to "bootstrap" itself into existence through its own description. That would then necessarily mean that the "physical" aspect of reality, the reality we can all "touch and feel" cannot be separated from its "metaphysical" aspect, the way we describe it. There is only one reality, and it describes itself. I know you do in fact agree with this, even though you don't realise this, but later on in your video you, yourself, make this very point, that there is only ONE reality. And that, to me, clearly illustrates that you must, or at least SHOULD, be aware that the dichotomy you are setting up in this argument is false.
