    No but like stuff like Santa and money ins’t part of metaphysics. It’s like an attempt to answer stuff because we don’t have the tools to know certain stuff. God would be metaphysics, but not Santa because we know we made Santa up, but the existence of some supreme being (while not exactly how we portray him) is unable to be unproven or proven

      You’re talking about theology, not metaphysics.

        I meant as in trying to figure out how the universe came to be etc. Not the study of religions.

        Like yeah could of been “god” but it also could’ve been nothing at all, or something else

            Yeah it is

            metaphysics, branch of philosophy whose topics in antiquity and the Middle Ages were the first causes of things and the nature of being. In postmedieval philosophy, however, many other topics came to be included under the heading “metaphysics.” (The reasons for this development will be discussed in the body of the article.)

              Robert Anton Wilson would disagree.
