Re: Metaphysics is necessary
Metaphysics is necessary for people that find the hard work involved in learning to understand science a bit too much for them. I mean, surely, reality can't be that difficult can it? All we need is imagination - don't dream it, be it - you know? 
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Re: Metaphysics is necessary
If you fancy trying out something like a metaphysical hallucinogen, some of the “discussions” on the following forum are certainly surreal enough – subjects like metaphysics versus meta-metaphysics, how many energy crystals can dance on the head of a single reality, and whether there is one god, many gods, or perhaps three gods that are part of the intrinsic substance of reality or entirely separate from the one reality or many in the multiverse…
