hmm..

for example, think of a sci-fi story including characters who discuss about existence of god
[
x:  god is now here
y:  god is no where
x:  god is now here
y:  god is no where
...
..
]
that silly infinite loop hehe ;)

by the way what about Lem's fictions? in The Star Diaries, there is a great story which has a strange concept containing robots who have strange beliefs and thoughts about god, existence etc [my favourite sci-fi story].

In a collection book of sci-fi stories i read a comment complaining about some Lem fictions  because of their  being "metaphysical".

what about it?

"any metaphysical subject is forbidden in science fiction"?

it is not  science, it is science-fiction.

[hmm this can be another discussion subject which is directly related with the definiton of sci-fi.]

btw, i am not a theologist or a metaphysics maniac [and astrology surely sucks ;)].
i just wonder what people think about that-the relationship between metaphysics and science fiction.

[sorry for my bad english]
