OK, thanks guys 
Yes, I can see it would be reasonable to say that which is physical exists. It's made up of something you can meausure in some way, and which can have an impact on other things.
If someone wants to make the case that something non-physical can or does exist, then I think it's up to them to say:
(A) What does this even mean? In what way does it exist? How is it different from something that doesn't exit?
(B) How can you possibly ever determine that there is such a thing, if you have no way of detecting it?
If science does already acknowledge some sort of non-physical (literal) existence, I'd be very interested to know.
