My question is why even though science shows there is a good chance fundamental particles exist.

The existence of quarks wouldn't ammount to a demonstration of metaphysical atomism, since, in short, it wouldn't show that quarks have no substantial form (nor would it show that the things composed of, at the lowest level available to us, quarks have no substantial form over and above that of the quarks, but this is an aditional seperate dispute).

I can try to give a better presentation of that when I get back from the mechanic, if you'd like.

It is precisely “values” that are the powerless and threadbare mask of the objectification of beings, an objectification that has become flat and devoid of background. No one dies for mere values.
