Physicists also teach that there is a subsistent being. It's called the physical world :)

And its succinct refutation was put forth by Hume and Kant!

Apologies. I mistook you as someone looking to engage with the substance of the argument. Take Care.

What argument? I see a passing reference to the ontological argument followed by a bunch of metaphysical word salad. Not exactly a lot of substance to engage with there.

I am a physicist coincidently. Also what you are reading above is not the ontological argument.
