-I challenge you to prove non-physical things exist.-
You are the first one to make a claim regarding this. You make a positive claim as to the non-existence of all things non-Physical. The onus is on you to prove that the Physical is all there is, as you made this claim first.
As to your comment about Religion not explaining anything about the universe, well that you would say this is somewhat puzzling due to the fact that many of the religions have something to say about the universe. Perhaps I’m not understanding what you are saying? Also, I’m not sure of just how physics proves your claim that religion doesn’t explain the universe? These 2 points seem a little unrelated at the present moment.
The foundation of Mathematics is based more upon Logic than empirical study. It deals with abstract concepts and attempts to implement them using Logic. So strictly speaking, it’s not a solely “Scientific” endeavor.
The field of philosophy covers a plethora of different realms of study and life than just metaphysics.
First off, what is the definition of science that you are applying here? What I mean by science is that field of study which has risen in history as a discipline of observing and experimenting the Natural existence to increase our knowledge of physical existence. Now is Philosophy a “science” in that it is a discipline of study? Yes. However, keep in mind that I’m thinking of something more specific, basically Science as the study of the natural world. So with that being said:
That’s just gross.
