You are conflating evidence and proof again. Physical
evidence, relates to the scientific method. Metaphysics deals with
proof.
And again Kenny, there is proof for God. Just because you don't/can't understand the difference, that doesn't mean it isn't true.
Can you provide metaphysical proof of something else concerning the physical world that does not include God?

I'm not a philosophy expert, but maybe the Law of Non-Contradiction.

Or C) the answer is something you or I are completely unaware of. I think it would be a mistake to limit the possibilities of the physical world to what you currently know of it.
The problem with that answer is, it offers nothing but imaginative speculation.
It's not an answer, it's an admission of not having an answer.

The idea that something can't be both "X" and "not X" at the same time? But I think that falls under the category of one of the laws of logic, rather than metaphysics.

Lol Kenny, and what do you think the laws of logic are (if not metaphysics)? They can be summed up in two principles: 1. The law of non-contradiction and 2. The Principle of Sufficient Reason. Note that the law of excluded middle is sort of the mirror image of the law of non-contradiction but it can stand on its own as a 3rd principle.

Sure, philosophy starts were logic ends. LOL
phi·los·o·phyDictionary result for philosophy
/fəˈläsəfē/Submit
noun
the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline
The difference between WHAT we know and HOW we know it.
The complement each other, they are NOT opposites.

True; I wouldn't say they are opposites.
