  1. Any one-point theory of everything--in physicalism's instance, it is that "everything is physics or supervenient thereunto"--presumes contingency upon the circular assumption that everything is indeed physics, i.e., the objectification of matter.

    If one "white raven" of non-physicality is given, that is sufficient to disprove the assumptive or contingent point of view.  E.g., the "Host of Light" at Garabandal provides such a "white raven."

    Physicalism is simply a bias towards a circularity based on a particular science's factual "presence" in the culture of human awareness and interest, and hence conditioning.  As such, physicalism explains everything in the manner that a problem-solver with only a hammer finds every problem to be a nail.

  2. It must be contextual.
