I don't think we have any way of telling whether some thing's existence is necessary. Therefore postulating some thing's existence as necessary is pure assumption.

Fair enough. Do we have any way of telling whether or not some thing's existence is non-necessary (i.e. contingent or conditioned upon some other thing)?
