I've answered these questions many times. Both exist in eternal complementation to each other.Burning ghost---I gave three options. To employ your terms I will say you have these three options:
1- Physical comes before non-physical.
2- Non-physical comes before physical.
Some prefer to remain ignorant irrespective of all information they have access too. Reminds me of Trumpty Dumpty candidate.
Biological physical does exist before access to metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concepts can occur.
No, they do not. Metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concepts do not cause or effect occupied space existence.BG-
1- Do natural laws cause matter/energy to exist?
We do see that geometric shape has direcet effect of air-flow, however, that, effect only takes place because of existence of occupied space.
No. However, occupied space cannot exist without the complementary existence of metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concepts and that is inclusive of all catagorys of matmatics ex geometric patterns. occupied space cannot exist without having a corresponding shape.2- Does matter/energy cause natural laws to exist?
Our finite, occupied space Universe, shapes the metaphysical-2, macro-infinite non-occupied space from within.
Obviously we cannot get outside of infinite space, however, our finite occupied space exists with that infinite non-occupied space. Not sure why so many have such difficulty grasping this simple set of concepts, much less acknowledging their rational, logical common sense validity.
The truth exists for those who seek it, those who don't and those who scoff at it. imho
