Without time or space you don't have anything at all.
Fair enough. That is another way of saying the existence of "anything at all" is conditional upon the existence of time or space.
Is the existence of time or space conditional upon anything else? If not, THAT'S AMAZING AND SPACE-TIME IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING IN THE UNIVERSE!
If space-time IS conditional upon anything, then it is only a conditional, i.e. contingent thing. Do you think ONLY conditional things exist?
