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

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.

Edit: Sorry about the snarky reply. I just don't have the patience for these kinds of semantic games. I'll just stick to physics, which tells us non-trivial things about the world without defining things into existence.
